VerNia Sharisse Garvin

VerNia Sharisse Garvin attended highschool at Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts where she fell in love with performance. In 2011, she studied at the NYSSSA: School of Theatre. Later, she went on to graduate cum laude with a Bachelor's of Arts in Theater.

As a lover of improv, in 2018, she began her journey with ComedySportz Buffalo where she is currently a player on their Pro roster. When she's not acting, she's being a super cool Social Studies Teacher. Last year she made her return to the stage in Buffalo Quickies at Alleyway Theater and is so glad to have been invited back for this year's production. Since then, she's been a part of various productions including The Royale at The Paul Robeson Theater, 12 Mo' Angry Men at Ujima, and has had her directorial debut at First Look theater for their annual New Play Reading Festival.

VerNia is very grateful and feels blessed to be a part of the Buffalo theater community. As always she thanks her Mother for being her Number 1 fan!
