Biography
Sharr White is a US-born playwright and screenwriter who straddles Broadway and prestige television. His breakthrough Broadway play, The Other Place (2011), established him as a writer mining family dysfunction and emotional aftermath. He followed with The Snow Geese (2013) and, years later, Pictures From Home (2023), both on Broadway stages. Simultaneously, White built a TV career: he produced and wrote for Showtime's The Affair from 2015 to 2019, then shifted to Starz's Sweetbitter (2019), HBO Max's Genera+ion (2021), and the Netflix limited series Halston (2021). His regional theatre credits span South Coast Repertory, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and Lincoln Center Theatre's Directors Lab. Born January 1, 1970, White carries a Life Path number of 1—the pioneer archetype—which aligns with his willingness to interrogate dark psychological terrain across both stage and screen. Screenwriters and playwrights typically research character psychology, develop original narratives, and collaborate with directors and actors across multiple drafts. His US citizenship grounds his focus on American family systems and period narratives.
