Shannon Wade (she/her) is an arts educator, puppeteer, performer, clown, playwright, puppet maker, and many other things besides! Shannon has been lucky enough to teach and perform with arts organizations across the country, including the Yocum Institute for Arts Education (PA), Omaha Theater Company at The Rose (NE), Portland Stage (ME), Mad Horse Theater Company (ME), and PortFringe Theater Festival (ME). She currently works as the Director of Education at STAGES Youth Theater in Portland Maine, where she gets to constantly be in touch with her inner kid! Some of the many things Shannon enjoys are camping, biking, baking bread, playing board games, and sticking googly eyes onto things. She could not be more thrilled to be part of this vibrant and generous collective of artists and looks forward to continuing to create in a radically respectful way
