ABOUT ME
ABOUT SHANNON
HELLO THERE!
My name is Shannon Bretz! I am a North Jersey based actor, singer, and performer. I am currently in my last semester at Montclair State University, where I am earning my BFA in Musical Theatre.
As an artist, I have been performing in and around the New York/ New Jersey area working on plays, musicals, cabarets, and professional improv! I love to be collaborative, playful, and I am very passionate about diversity and inclusion in the arts. As a plus sized performer, it is so important to me to help cultivate spaces for bodies of all shapes, sizes and colors within the arts. Humanity is colorful and beautiful, so why not let our art reflect that?
Outside of the theatre, I love spending time with my black lab puppy, going thrifting, and watching “West Wing” reruns. My favorite musical genre is country, but Doechii is rapidly becoming my favorite artist! I am an amateur bartender and barista, so whether it be day or night, I can recommend you the perfect drink!
