Sharon’s passion for the performing arts is centered in her belief they have transformational powers. She believes, “they are a precious gift to humanity; offering us a mirror with which to behold our majesty. Through the stories of the human experience, via the creation and production of music, dance, fine arts, theatre, film and television, we experience and are transformed into better versions of ourselves.”
Ms. King, recently founded and became president of Sharon Tsahai King Productions Inc. In so doing, She has joined the ranks of a small but stellar group of women of color, who wish to yield power through their passions, by continuing to blaze paths for the voiceless to be heard, the ignored to be seen, and for the fully clothed truths of the human experience to be stripped naked.
