Shannon Clancy - Esmeralda
This is not only Shannon’s first ever production with 4th Wall, but she’s also fulfilling her dream of playing one of her most favorite characters ever, Esmeralda. Shannon has been doing theatre since she was 7 years old. It’s what truly makes her happy and is her ultimate goal. Shannon has been involved with many theatre groups over the years, such as CYT (Christian Youth Theatre) throughout her entire teen years. Her favorite roles include Aunt Em in the Wizard of Oz and the Enchantress in Beauty and the Beast. Her most recent favorite roles include Lucy in Dracula at Westfield Playhouse, Ruth Nowak in Miracle on South Division Street at Epilogue Players, and James Minor (apostle) in Jesus Christ Superstar at Mudcreek Players. Shannon loves being a part of theater so much because of the togetherness that comes from being part of a whole company. She loves all the friends she makes in every show and loves making new ones too. Shannon is not only super excited to perform a classic and beloved story for people, but she also loves being a part of this new welcoming and open environment that she looks forward to working with again soon.
