A bit about Me

A southern girl -- Daphne Shawn has been performing since before she could even talk. Since the age of three, she has been performing; first at home, then church and finally upon the stage. She's performed in such regional favorites as "Dreamgirls", "Little Shop of Horrors", "Big River" and "Showboat". She's studied the arias of Puccini, Mozart and Verdi. Yet Daphne Shawn refuses to limit herself. Not only does she act and sing, but she also writes. "I believe in possibilities and the need to challenge myself."

It's this need for growth that pushed Daphne to form her own production company, Sultry Siren Productions (2002). The first project to be completed will be a debut CD, "What It's All About", accompanying her cabaret show at Don't Tell Mama's in the fall. Future projects include the development of her screenplays "Pharaoh" and "Both Hands Down" to the big screen. Is she ambitious and gutsy? Absolutely! Does she want to wait for anyone's permission to move forward? Absolutely NOT!
