Shannon O’Neill is such a great teacher and all-around presence in this world that her Level 4 UCB students got together and made this video to thank her. Shannon is the heart and soul of the UCB and is always the first one to get anyone’s back. It makes me incredibly happy to see her inspire that same spirit in her students.
Spo was/is one of my favorite teachers. She knows how to push veterans hard, but is very caring and nurturing to people who are newer. I think she does an extra amazing job (along with many women) at making the females of the community feel welcome and a part of the bigger picture.
I am a big fan of Shannon as a performer and teacher as well. In the last class I took with her she had me do an exercise that really helped me attack one of the issues I have.
Shannon has a special place in my heart. I took my first improv class with her, and then I was broke & couldn’t take another class for a year. I was freaking out in the lobby as I waited for the elevator on the first day of my 201, like in my head thinking, “You probably forgot how to do this - everyone’s gonna be way ahead of you - what have you gotten yourself into this time,” and she showed up & not only remembered my name but asked how I was doing and what I’d been up to since the class. It really helped me out & relaxed me, and I feel like this is significant in that this is not atypical Shannon O’Neill behavior - she’d do that for anyone.
