About Me
Originally from St. Louis, MO, Shannon is a die-hard Cardinals fan and grew up sitting in the Muny's free seats watching musicals with her grandma. An avid DIY girl, she won’t buy anything she thinks she can make instead, including her high school prom dresses. The only girl in her Fantasy Football league, she took 2nd place this year, NBD. Keeps trying to grow a garden and “get into” yoga, but she doesn’t have the patience for either. Will beat you in Words With Friends, but like she’s not competitive at all. She's worked and studied with the acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre, iO Chicago, and Lesly Kahn.
