In the words of actress Jane Kaczmarek: “terrific young actress I worked with on KINDERTRANSPORT at L.A.T.W. ... Shannon played my daughter, spoke impeccable German and has a spot-on English accent. She's smart as a whip ... and is a delight to onstage and off.” Based in LA, local hire in Philadelphia and the PNW. Not afraid of heights; agile and daring.
