Heather Shore is the CEO and co-founder of Women of HERstory,
and co-host of Women of HERstory: A
Podcast. As a performing artist, when the COVID-19 pandemic swept
through NYC, she knew she had to
embark on a new adventure- entrepreneurial- as there was no
guarantee of when live theatre would be
making its’ way back to our stages. Heather has always had a
passion for history, and the discrepancies
in representation of women in the archives. Women of HERstory is
dedicated to celebrating women who
have made, or are making, their mark on society. The juxtaposition
of women of the past with
interviews with women of today helps us to realize how far we’ve
come, how far we still have to go, and
brings recognition to women who have otherwise been edited down to
a sentence in a textbook
chapter. She hopes to be able to expand the business and podcast to
reach as many people as possible!
Throughout her life, Heather has pursued the arts in all forms,
with a primary focus on the performing
arts. She has performed all over the world, including Kagoshima,
Japan, and Florence, Italy. After
completing ballet education at North Central School of Ballet under
the direction of Les Jordan III in
Keller, TX, Heather went to the University of North Texas to study
dance. It was during this time that she
fell in love with Musical Theatre and everything it has to offer.
Heather sang throughout her life, and MT
offered a combination of her two greatest loves, dancing and
singing! That doesn’t mean she isn’t
interested in everything under the sun, from baseball and knitting
to cooking and a particular obsession
with parkour, Heather strives to learn as much as she can about
anything that comes across her path.
After a dear friend’s life was tragically and suddenly cut short
just before entry into University, Heather
decided that life was too short to not take risks to make your
dreams come true. After a few years at
UNT, and scrimping as many pennies as possible, Heather packed up
four suitcases and moved to New
York City. She hit the ground running and booked numerous concerts,
tours, and shows across the United States and the globe.
