Director.

Shane has been involved in theatre since he was given the role of
Pirate #3 in Grade 7, and learned the unpleasant lesson that you
have to deliver your lines in order, and at the proper time, not just
when you feel like it. Developing a passion for the craft through
high school and university, Shane has gone on to hold almost every
position both on and offstage that he could find, including founding
his own theatre company. Recent highlights for Shane have seen
him playing Roo Webber in MTG’s Summer of the Seventeenth
Doll, and Billy Bigelow in QMT’s Carousel. When not involved in
a production, Shane has served as QLD Coordinator for Theatre
People for the past 2 years.
