Hooked on theatre when a student usher at Theatre Calgary in her native Canada, Cheryl champions not only London's West End, but also regional venues. Splitting her time between London and Wiltshire, she knows she's lucky to pick up a number of shows given first runs at Theatre Royal Bath in the West Country. She's also supports work at Salisbury Playhouse. When not happily perched in the stalls, Cheryl does corporate writing as a jobbing journalist. Cheryl also writes flash fiction and short stories (some of which has been published) and is a member of Writers' HQ, Retreat West and The Society of Authors.

The Daily Beast were kind enough to call me "a man with an encyclopedic knowledge of the city’s underground culture" and I have been editing/reviewing stage productions since 2010 for some of London's biggest websites covering theatre, opera, dance, cabaret, immersive and everything in between.
