Courtney Scheer Singer
Courtney Scheer, Throughout my life, I have been drawn to music and acting, and have been privileged to be able to perform on many stages, ranging from local cabaret and Community Theater to symphony halls. I have studied the works of such greats as Bob Marley, the Beatles and Billie Holiday, and have attempted to blend their unique styles into my own sound. I have been most fortunate to have appeared in a variety of lead roles in such stage productions as Chicago, Cats, West Side Story, Beauty and the Beast and Rent. I have immersed myself in every role ever undertaken, and am forever looking forward to the next challenge that awaits.
