Hi! I’m Shann based out here in San Francisco. 👋
During the weekday, I’m either teaching a youth acting class, running rehearsal, or recording a podcast as the Director of Theatre Arts & Broadcast at Salesian Boys & Girls Club.
On weeknights, I’m usually dusting off my audio engineering hat (ie headphones) and recording actors on a film set, mixing music in the studio, or skipping down other sound design rabbit holes.
Around 10pm, you can hear me on the airwaves hosting my late night vintage music show, Moonlight Saving Time on KXCI Tucson and KXSF San Francisco.
My weekends are reserved for the stage! Right now you can me as Tricia in Coastal Repertory Theatre’s Five Women Wearing The Same Dress.
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.
