Sharon King-Campbell is a playwright, actor, director, producer, storyteller, poet, and scholar with a passion for the connective and change-making power of stories.
As a playwright, her works include Fighting Fire with Snow (World’s End Theatre), Give Me Back (skc originals/FTLOL), Original (skc originals/PerSIStence), and Dayboil, which premiered in 2022 with Ship’s Company Theatre in Parrsboro, NS.
