Juliet is quite world experienced with many global connections making her an eclectic and seasoned performer. Originally hailing from the UK and half Jamaican, Juliet has lived in Vancouver BC, Niagara-on-the-Lake and St. Catharines, Ontario as well as Paris, France where she lived for 13 years.
Unlike most, Juliet submerged herself in the world of music and theatre at a later age (in her 20’s), which took place for the most part in France and continues to this day as she develops more and more as an artist here in Canada.
Whilst in France Juliet worked in theatre, musical theatre, film and television, the fashion industry and the music industry.
Some highlights from her career in France include playing the lead role in the TV movie ‘L’Amerloque’ (The Yankee) , of a ‘jeune-fille au-pair / jazz singer’ and releasing two singles as a recording artist. (Released in France, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg.)
In 2001 Juliet returned to Vancouver where she continued to progress as an actress and singer. In the musical theatre world she received the ‘Aida Broadbent Award’ for her performance in the T.U.T.S. (Theatre Under the Stars) production of ‘Little Shop of Horrors’.
One year later, the prestigious Shaw Festival hired Juliet and she then relocated to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. At Shaw, Juliet performed in numerous productions for their 2002 and 2003 seasons and in 2002 she received the ‘Tony Van Bridge Award’ for most promising newcomer.
In 2003 Juliet became actively involved with ‘Carousel Players’ who do theatre catered to young audiences and she continues her work with this company to this day. She has done several tours with Carousel as well as workshops in the schools and summer camps. Stemming from her youth and her involvement with the YMCA,
Juliet has always had a natural ability to connect with children of all ages and really enjoys the opportunity to work with them.
She has also developed her first play for TYA under the theme of environmental awarene ss. This is a message she hopes to bring to young audience members throughout the nation very soon.
Now based in Ontario, Canada, Juliet continues to work in film, TV and theatre and has now expanded her horizon into the world of jazz music. Juliet’s singing teacher in France (Monsieur Jean Salamero) helped develop her love for jazz and she is thrilled to finally have an opportunity to pursue this avenue.
In the spring and summertime, Juliet performs with various jazz musicians in the Niagara region for festivals, private events and in a number of different venues. She is also working on new material and constantly continuing to evolve as a singer and artist.
During the winter, Juliet enjoys doing contracts overseas with her husband Peter Shea. Previous contracts include: The Island Shangri-la in Hong Kong, the Sofitel in Marrackech, Morocco and Brazil, the Amazon, and the Carribean with the Regent Mariner.
Most recently Juliet has been seen performing aboard the mega-yacht ‘The World’ for several months. This time her travels take her to Singapore, Malyasia, India, Oman, the UAE, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal.
Juliet is also thrilled to have recently performed for the 1st time with a symphony orchestra. She performed as the guest vocalist with the Niagara Symphony for their Pops 4 concert: ‘It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.’ The concert was conducted by Diane Wittry and Juliet loved every minute of it!
Juliet also donates a lot of her time to the community by doing benefit performances for various organizations. She regularly performs at the Niagara Hospice and other organizations include the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the YMCA, Heart Niagara, Suitcase in Point Theatre Company, the United Way, the Wells of Hope, Women in Finance and more. She finds this work very rewarding.
On top of her love for theatre and music, Juliet also has many other passions… Teaching Zumba, aerobics and other fitness classes, volunteering, sewing, knitting, running, swimming, home renovations, traveling, biking, cooking, writing, mosaic, fine dining, camping, dancing, socializing and more.
Never a dull moment for this young at heart artist.
