ABOUT

By day, Sharon Saline is a clinical psychologist in Northampton who works primarily with children, adolescents and families living with ADHD. By night, she’s a cabaret performer who mixes songs from musical theater, jazz standards and rock with personal stories about life’s crazy moments and its more challenging ones. A former professional actress who loves both comedy, musicals and improvisational theater, Sharon has also directed and performed in children’s theater. She sang for five years with High Definition, a women’s accapella group in Northampton, before focusing solely on her cabaret shows. Sharon has studied storytelling with Gerald Stropnicky (“First Person Story” workshop at the KO Theater Festival) and is a long-time student of Justina Golden at the Profound Sound Voice studio.

In her professional life, Sharon has authored several articles and conducted numerous trainings both nationally and internationally for parents, educators, therapists and high school students on a variety of topics including understanding the teen brain, living with  ADHD, navigating the world of technology, reducing bullying and improving family relationships. She is also the parent of two young adult children. Sharon brings her experience from all of these realms into her cabaret shows with humor, honesty and creativity.

Sharon has performed her cabaret shows in Northampton as fundraisers in the past for the Northampton High School theater department, Congregation Beit Ahavah and The Northampton Community Music Center. She is committed to bringing people together to celebrate the arts, promote storytelling and building connections between generations. Her shows appeal to young and old alike because she recounts aspects of her own life  in this complicated, sometimes crazy world, that resonate with everyone.
