Sheri Cotner

Sheri Cotner discovered her love of performing in the 6th grade when she played Cher in a school production of Sonny and Cher. That early experience sparked a lifelong passion for the stage and set her on a path toward theatre. She pursued theatre studies at Golden West College and Long Beach City College as well as completing additional specialized training to further develop her craft. Over the years, Sheri has performed in a variety of productions, including Play It Again Sam, Barefoot in the Park, Plaza Suite, Romeo and Juliet, As You Like It, and Oleanna in venues throughout Southern California. She was a member of The Found Theatre in Long Beach, where she appeared in numerous original productions written and directed by Cynthia Galles, gaining invaluable experience in collaborative and creative storytelling. After moving to Bellingham and taking time off to raise her children, Sheri is excited to return to her passion and teach teens in a lively, supportive space where they can explore, take risks, and have fun while growing as an actor!
