Shireen Banigan

Latest Show Bio

Shireen Banigan (Sherrie Christian) is ready to rock your socks off alongside an outstanding cast and staff. In addition to the occasional musical/play, you can catch her singing locally with the Heartland Jazz Orchestra and Party Cannon (pop/rock cover band). Shireen works in marketing at State Farm and is studying for her MBA at UIUC. Special shoutout to Dan Megli (Megli Voice Studio) and Tatiana Masi (USA Ballet) for all the training and patience over the last few years. And, most importantly, Shireen would like to thank her amazingly supportive husband, Sean, and pupper, Eva, without whom she could not do this crazy awesome stuff!
