Skinny Dipping-Not Your Mama's One Woman Show!

Chicago based actress and writer, Shanna Shrum, mounts the second Chicago run of her one woman show, Skinny Dipping, at Davenport’s Piano Bar and Cabaret Shanna Shrum bares the souls of six incredibly different women in her hilarious one woman show, Skinny Dipping. She makes Chicago the 3rd stop on her four city tour, which includes venues in St. Louis, Kansas City and New York City. Skinny Dipping combines improv, audience participation and a dash of cabaret to create a solo show unlike any other. It is an outrageous, hilarious and heartfelt piece of theatre that explores what can happen when we break through, strip down and jump into the pool of acceptance. Born and raised in St. Louis, Shanna Shrum moved to Chicago in the summer of 2005 where she performed on a variety of impov teams at The Second City’s Skybox Theatre and The Playground, as well as appearing in scripted works. Shanna then focused her attention on writing, producing and performing Skinny Dipping. Part of Shanna Shrum’s draw is her unique ability to vocally and physically embody each of the six characters. Whether she is portraying a 50 something Liza Minnelli obsessed diva or a spoiled lonely 17 year old girl, Shanna Shrum acts as a conduit for each of their spirits to connect with her audience. During Skinny Dipping’s last run in Chicago at Davenport’s Piano Bar and Cabaret, The Chicago Reader exclaimed, “Shanna Shrum channels a series of increasingly complex personalities…with impressively precise and sincere characterizations.” Skinny Dipping-Not Your Mama’s One Woman Show!
