📣 Hello ! This week’s spotlight shines on the adorable and incredibly talented Sherlicia Cariolet, who is currently bringing the house down in Beehive the Musical.

✨️It’s closing weekend and seats are limited — so don’t wait. 👀✨

Q: So… have you basically been performing since birth?

🎭 Born and raised in New York City, I’ve spent my entire life performing. I started dancing at four and by thirteen was pursuing musical theatre professionally, quickly falling in love with the storytelling and connection it creates.

Q: Who inspired you to take up space on stage?

🎭 Growing up in such a diverse environment, I was inspired by performers stepping into roles beyond what they were originally written for. I hope to be that same reminder for the next generation. There is space for you on any stage, no matter your background.

Q: Where can we catch you shining these days?

🎭 Austin credits include White Christmas at The Georgetown Palace (Judy Haynes), Bring It On at Zilker (Nautica), and currently Beehive at TexArts where I get to sing iconic 1960s music made famous by Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner.

✨ Artist Spotlight ✨

Hello, ! It’s been a minute since our last Artist Spotlight, and today we’re thrilled to feature the incredibly talented Dashon King. Catch Dashon alongside an amazing cast in Fences by August Wilson, directed by Dr. Kerry Ann Zamore, this Valentine’s weekend — February 13–15 — at 🎭

Dashon King is a 30-year-old performer based in Temple, Texas, originally from Colorado. He holds a bachelor’s degree in communications and has worked in radio, sports announcing, voiceovers, and storytelling.

Dashon began his stage career at Temple Civic Theatre at age 25 and has been actively involved ever since, contributing to over ten productions both onstage and behind the scenes—as an actor, usher, and crew member.

In Fences, Dashon portrays Gabriel, a war veteran with a metal plate in his head who fiercely believes it is his duty to protect his older brother, Troy. Gabriel also shares a close bond with his sister-in-law, Rose, and his nephew, Lyons.

This role is especially meaningful to Dashon, who is autistic and was diagnosed in early childhood and again at age eleven. He connects deeply with Gabriel’s spirit—living life fully, striving to bring joy to others, and pursuing his dreams one day at a time.

🎟️ Don’t miss this powerful performance!
