What is Shine? It's our annual fundraising variety show aimed to please, tickle, delight, move, and inspire directed by Taylor Neese. Audiences spend an evening with some of our best singers, dancers, actors, and more. Enjoy contemporary performances from Shakespearean actors. This year our performers were miscast. They took on roles and performances they wouldn’t normally get to do, whether it’s because of their age, gender, character type, or anything else!
All tickets were by donation. A ticket to this show means you'll be supporting our mission to entertain, educate, and explore experiential and interactive theatre through the works of Shakespeare and beyond. Thank you to all who made it a success! |

Stage Management Workshop
Led by Sarah Wilson
May 17th (5/17/2025) from 1:45 to 3:45 PM
Learn about the duties of a stage manager, practice taking line notes, and ask questions!
Sarah Wilson is the Assistant Managing Director of Shared Radiance. She has been working with the company for five years in various productions such as Twelfth Night (as Signor Fabian), Sisters of Mine (as The Unnamed Woman, Singer, and Stage Manager), and Othello (as Stage Manager). Sarah started doing theatre and fell in love with it in high school at Southeast Guilford High School and was taught by fellow company member and now friend, Chris Veneris. Sarah then graduated from Lees-McRae College with a BA in Theatre Arts Studies with concentrations in Stage Management and Costume Design and a Minor in Technical Theatre. Outside of theatre, she is a substitute teacher, loves to play Dungeons and Dragons with her friends, and would sleep all day with her 11-year-old cat, KitKat, if she could. Sarah is so excited to work with this amazing company.
Michael Chekov Workshop
Led by Andrew Altmann
June 21st (6/21/2025) from 2:00 to 4:00 PM
The acting style of Michael Chekhov is heavily based in movement, imagination, and psychological gesture. Wear movement clothes to explore this acting technique!
