Adam Sherrerd lives in Omaha and has two feet: one for tracing the pleasant presence of the present tense, the other firmly planted at the intersection of sound design and biology. He composes and performs music locally in array of diverse contexts and draws inspiration from his work through direct participation in the cycles and seasons of the wild. He has composed and performed original music for several productions at The Rose, and is eager to continue to pursue theater as an avenue for weaving dreams into the physical realm and for cultivating communal joy across cultural landscapes.
