Sheridan Turner

Sheridan is returning to the stage after a six-year break from theatre and is very excited about resuming her thespian endeavours. Her theatre background includes over a decade of speech and drama training, and involvement in many amateur theatre society and university productions. 'The Dining Room' will be her first performance with the Ellerslie Theatrical Society. Outside of the theatre, Sheridan spends most of her time educating, or preparing to educate, the latest generation of learners, as a beginning school teacher.

'I Hate Hamlet' is Sheridan's second production with ETS, following the fabulous time she had as part of 'The Dining Room' in 2013. Between rehearsals and performances, Sheridan works as a Year 8 teacher at Bucklands Beach Intermediate, where her first full-length play stage debut seventeen years ago solidified her love of performing in theatre. The wheel has come full circle, and this year she is excited to be part of the directing team for the school musical. Apart from their ages, Sheridan has little in common with Deirdre, but she is having a grand time vicariously reliving the idealist romanticism of her youth through the character.
