Cheryl Metrick
I am a SAG/AFTRA actress from Long Island, New York who has worked professionally for the past 25 years in theatre, television, and film. I've had principal roles in several independent films,commercials, infomercials, and voice-overs. I am currently on a Long Island Cablevision public access TV program called “HIT OR MISS VARIETY SHOW” airing weekly on Long Island Cablevision (trailer can be viewed on Youtube.) I also costar on a new TV pilot called "High Hopes" (trailer can also be viewed on Youtube.) I studied at many acting schools, including: HERBERT BERGHOFF STUDIO, WEIST-BARRON STUDIO, VIDEO ASSOCIATES, TVI, and WAY OFF BDWY. I am a member of Screen Actors Guild; American Federation of Television & Radio Artists; GIAA; Society of Singers; Long Island Film/TV Foundation: Filmmakers Connection.
I am a professional singer and recording artist who sings genres from pop, jazz, and classic rock to musical theatre and cabaret. My most recent recording is a single song CD that I wrote both music + lyrics "THERE ARE ANGELS." It is an Inspirational song about angels watching over us. With Frank Owens' brilliant arrangement we recorded this song with a live string orchestra. There Are Angels just won a songwriting contest given by the Minnesota Association of Christian Songwriters and is included on their compilation CD, "Songs Your Mother Should Hear" which is being sent to missions worldwide. I previously released "Cheryl Metrick: Fantasy & Romance" which is one of my NYC cabaret shows. It's a combination of Contemporary Adult Pop, Old Standards, & Musical Theatre in my stylings with Frank Owens arrangements. I entertained at many of the New York Catskill Mountain Resort Hotels and performed in many clubs, charitable events, and industrials in NYC and the tri-state area.
The following is an excerpt from a review of one of my cabaret acts:
"Cheryl Metrick ...from the way she took command of that stage you would swear she'd been here before...everything was right in place and her body language, connecting with the audience, was first-rate. Her material was ...inspirational. She was just as at home with the hilarious 'Beethoven Chased by Rossini' sung as if she were a cat.
No doubt that she’ll be back - watch for Cheryl Metrick!" reviewer: Maryann Lopinto - CAB MAGAZINE
I am interested in spirituality and have a Facebook page called Cheryl Metrick: THERE ARE ANGELS dedicated to my CD and to angels in general. It quickly gained a large worldwide fan base. I am also presently collaborating on a book with Jeree Wade, M.A., a life coach and fellow singer. The book, titled "On the Wings of Inspiration," is based on a collection of my drawings and poems and the premise of the book is exploring your inner life through interpretive symbols. It will be published by Xlibris by the fall of 2010.
