Port Moody actor Sharon Crandall is making her debut at Bard on the Beach, appearing in two of the festival’s shows this summer.
Crandall is in As You Like It, which runs until Sept. 22 on the BMO Mainstage at Vanier Park, and Lysistrata — a 2,400-year-old comedy by the Greek playwright Aristophanes that has previews starting next Friday.
Crandall’s stage credits include: Shit (Firehall), In the Heights (Arts Club) and Fiddler on the Roof (Gateway). She has also appeared on screen in A Series of Unfortunate Events (Netflix), When We Rise (ABC) and Marine 5 (WWE).
The ensemble cast for Lysistrata includes Colleen Wheeler and Jennifer Lines; Port Moody native and Studio 58-trained Jennifer Stewart is the assistant stage manager for the play.
Now in its 29th year, Bard on the Beach is the largest professional Shakespeare festival in Western Canada. For tickets starting at $24, visit bardonthebeach.org.
