Sharese Salters

Playwright

Sharese Salters (she/her) is a proud 2024 Terrance McNally semi-finalist for her play Black is the New Black. She is a southern-bred, multi-hyphenate artist whose main artistry lies in performance, theatre education, and playwriting. Art is the place where Sharese feels the most at home and the most powerful—the place where she can wield her voice how she sees fit, free of constraint and free of judgment. Sharese uses storytelling to connect to people by beginning with a laugh and ideally ending with reflections of the heart. She is a creative, a collaborator, a crier, and a friend.
