Shann is an actor, singer, arts teacher, comedian & radio pro ;)
“Shann is an absolute joy to work with - a director’s dream. She leads by example.”
- Director Todd Poelstra, Pima Theatre
Hi! I’m Shann, a trained singer, stage/film/voice actor, and comedian based in San Francisco.
During the day, I’m the Director of Theatre at Salesian Boys’ and Girls’ Club and stir up trouble at 102.5FM KXSF San Francisco. I’m also on-air radio host for 91.3FM KXCI's Moonlight Saving Time.
I also have degrees in molecular biophysics and biomechanical engineering that I don't use (except my pandemic project of a double-walled soundproof blue sound booth built into my basement…). Whoops, sorry mom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Who am I?

Reviews
Stand-out performances include Shann Oliver playing Mary Smith, who in one short scene illustrates a generation of malicious virtue signaling by Ellen's half sister.
“I would also like to mention Gianbari Deebom and Shann Oliver – Rosie and Tanya respectively. They were quite the duo and I was impressed by their contrasting vocal timbre. They complimented each other incredibly well (them harmonies, though!). Rosie is a free, fearless woman and Tanya is an affluent, pampered, girly girl and the performances from these two young ladies were so true to the script. It was very refreshing to see young performers put their egos aside and work to tell the story and not make the performance about themselves. Bravo.”
The Cast had some heavy hitters who embraced their roles. Elaine Harper (Shann Oliver) provided the ideal balance and stronger female in all the insanity.
