Sharon stayed a member of the New Tyne Theatre Stage School until she was eighteen, and during that time she performed in many musical classics, including Annie (playing the title role twice!), Seven brides for seven brothers, Little shop of horrors, and numerous others, using this important time to develop her theatre skills. When Sharon left school she studied on the B-Tec Performing Arts course at Newcastle College which gave her the opportunity to use her skills and develop new ones.
