More about Sheronna Osbourne
How were you first introduced to your creative discipline?
“I was first introduced to acting/ performance arts as a child in elementary school. I went to my first broadway show and was hooked! Seeing storytelling done in this physical and dynamic way started my journey to becoming an actress. As the co owner of a production company i’ve had the to opportunity to venture into directing which has added great value to my overall artistry.”
How has your city, region or places you were raised impacted you artistically/creatively?
“Growing up in Toronto and in a Jamaican household my surroundings have always been rich with character development even before I had an understanding of what that was. The freedom to explore and experience cultures outside of my own continues to impact the way I build story and how I express myself as an artist.”
What’s something people should know about you?
“I’m an artist in search of the truth. Truths of story, humanity and self. It’s how I approach my work and life. Im also a charades champion! Ask my family lol.”
