Sharon’s magic with props and sets helped make theater in the Twin Cities come alive. As a prop stylist and set dresser for more than four decades, she designed for the Ordway, Penumbra, the Fitzgerald, and many, many other theaters, as well as filmmakers and commercial photographers. At Theatre in the Round, she worked on 125+ productions, both designing shows and supporting artists, developed an extensive prop and set inventory and supervised its rentals to other theaters, and was instrumental in establishing the theatre as a major resource for the performing arts community of the Twin Cities. In recognition of her work, Sharon received the President’s Award for Outstanding Service to Theatre in the Round.
