She recently graduated from The Ohio State University with a BA in theatre and psychology. Her favorite roles that she has played include Mary from The Children's Hour (for which she received an acting award from the university as well as a nomination for best actress of the 2006-7 season from the Central Ohio's Theatre Critic's Circle) as well as Adela from Another Part of the House. Her favorite experience as an actress has been working on the independent film Glass City, in which she played the supporting role of the leading character's sister Sarah. Sarah is proud to make her Chicago debut with the Shadowmen's production of An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein. It is an intelligent and comedic piece performed and produced by a talented group.

Jordan Kohl (Waitress, Jen, Kendra, Merilee)

Jordan could not be happier than to be working with this wonderful group of people. Jordan has appeared in Chicago with Bailiwick Repertory, Steep Theatre Company, Redmoon Theater, Born Naked Theatre Company, Stockyards Theatre Project, and n.u.f.a.n. ensemble, among others. She would like to thank her family for their unending support, this cast and creative team for the wonderful experience they have provided on this production, and the guy who turned her into a disco bandit.

Joshua Leigh (Auctioneer, Sherwin, Jimbo, Lee)

Born, raised and educated in Maine, Josh broke this tragic pattern by moving to Chicago three years ago to make funny faces. Joshua normally prefers to take on roles that allow him to wear tights, but he has made an exception for this production.

Craig Rennak (Harvey, Dad, Gibby, Blind Willie)

Craig Rennak is happy to be making his debut performance with The Shadowmen.  With the exception of Inside Fighter at the Around the Coyote Festival, Craig has not worked from a script since college - choosing instead to favor improvised works.  Locally, he is a graduate of the Annoyance Training Center, is on the cast of The Playground Theater's RECESS, and has performed for various Theatre Momentum shows.  He hopes that you enjoy The Shadowmen's production of An Adult Evening of Shel Silverstein as much as he does.
