COLLEEN SHANAHAN
Assistant Director
Colleen hasn’t grown since the third grade. Ever since the Irish potato famine she has lived in Chicago (well actually the suburbs but that’s unimportant). She’s accepting applications for friends over 6 feet tall only. Random talents: can juggle, can make a clover w her tongue, and can spin a basketball on her finger and is part of the Harlem globe trotters.
DANIELLA CLAYBORN
Producer
This is Daniella. She loves to laugh and make those around her laugh, and it’s usually not too hard. At least once a day you’ll see her falling or tripping over something. She’s always injured; her bones are probably made of uncooked macaroni. She really doesn’t know what she’s doing or saying half the time, but she just wants to have fun. She is from Georgia but don’t ask her to do a southern accent because she will severely disappoint you. But if you want to be shocked, ask her what her sister’s name is.
JACQUELINE DAVIS
Communication Director
Jacqueline Davis? Never heard of her. Who is she? Jacqueline is from San Antonio, Texas. YEEHAW! Don’t ask her if she rides a horse to school. She will be your friend for a chocolate chip cookie, is a huge Rick and Morty fan, dances randomly, for literally no reason at all, loves stuffed animals, and is the queen of snacks.
JACOB ROSS
Full-Time Menace
River Watts is cool and laid back — and a perfect addition to our family at Without a Net. You may see River Watts hanging around the bar or backstage — don’t be afraid to say hello!
