Shane's face is definitely one that theatre goers will not recognize. After a very active high school acting career (which culminated in 1995), Shane has spent the last ten years working in the "real world", playing with action figures and looking for an avenue to pursue acting once again. He appeared with Basic Acid Theatre in "Finer Noble Gases", in "Dark of the Moon" at the Walterdale Playhouse and he also appeared as an extra in an episode of Mentors. Shane is very excited to be working with Basic Acid Theatre.
