Sheila Cowley is a playwright whose work embraces many artforms, creating theatre that celebrates voice, movement, sound, visual art and circus artistry. It’s theatre that asks big questions – about gender roles and family, and tiny daily acts of heroism. Her plays have been onstage across the country and in London, Australia, South Korea and Dubai. She’s currently working with actors, dancers and visual artists. The St. Petersburg Arts Alliance chose her as the city’s Literary Muse 2018 and Creative Pinellas awarded her a 2018 Professional Artists Fellowship.
