Other favorite roles include performances as Rosemary in "Picnic," Edith Frank in "The Diary of Anne Frank," Karen in “Dinner with Friends,” multiple characters in "Almost, Maine," Jacquelyn in “Don’t Dress for Dinner,” Anne in “Forty Carats,” and Tessa in “Daughters.” Sherryl is a native San Diegan, a lover of old movies, and a long time believer in the excitement and surprises that come from performing on stage in front of live audiences where ‘anything can happen – and often does’. She credits her love of performing to her mother, her brother and fellow actor, David, and beloved high school drama teacher, Barry Bosworth. As always Sherryl thanks her family, especially Andy and Sarah, for never (rarely) making fun of her to her face.

Marnie is thrilled to be working with such a talented and jovial cast for this production of The Dixie Swim Club.
