About Me
Shannon Leigh Webber is from Dahlonega, a small town in North East Georgia. After high school, Shannon traveled a grueling 45 minutes away from home to attend Piedmont College, where she earned a BFA in Theatre. After college she traveled even farther from home to the University of Arkansas where she spent three years working towards her MFA in Acting. After graduating once again, Shannon moved to the Windy City (Chicago), where she has lived and worked for 6 years.
Some of her favorite roles include: Blanche in a Streetcar Named Desire, Katherine Brandt in 33 Variations, and Norma in Perfect Arrangement. Shannon is also a company member with Random Acts Chicago and Pride Films and Plays.
In her spare time, Shannon enjoys yoga, watching old movies, cooking and surviving the harsh Chicago winters with her partner Esteban, Pidgey (their recused King Pigeon) and their many houseplants.
