"Bennet" rhymes with "Senate"

At the tender age of seven, Shaun’s active imagination led her to accidentally lock herself in the dryer while pretending to be an unfortunate peasant who had refused the affections of an evil king. The castle guards, in their enthusiastic malice, had closed the dungeon/dryer door a bit too eagerly and there she stayed, trapped for three hours until she was finally able to escape. Luckily, her mother could never figure out how one could break a dryer from the inside out, so punishment was avoided and an actress was born.

After attending a performing arts high school in Kansas City, Mo., her hometown, Shaun bought a one-way ticket to New York to learn more about her craft. After studying at AMDA, she went up to Toronto to produce and asst. direct John Patrick Shanley's Savage In Limbo with a school friend. Afterwards, she returned to New York and continues to committedly pursue acting, her love, alongside directing, writing and producing and feels most at home amongst collaborative artists. Her dream is to one day run a theatre company that mentors young actors and feeds them home-cooked meals every now and then. Until that day, her plan is to work as often as possible in great projects surrounded by great people.

“But what is she like”, you ask? Well...she has the sensual calm of Kerry Washington, the mercurial ferocity of Cate Blanchett, and the snarky wit of Tina Fey. You should meet her!
