WITH ALMOST THREE DECADES OF BOTTLED CREATIVE UNCONSCIOUSNESS READY TO BURST IN SPURTS IN ANY MOMENT, I BEG OF YOU TO LET ME SPEAK. I BEG THE WORLD TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE, IF IT's NOT ME. BUT GOD DAMNIT, START LEARNING TO LISTEN TO YOURSELF. I KNOW IT's HARD. WHY DO YOU THINK I REMIND YOU SO OFTEN? TO REMIND MY WEAK YET LONGING TO SPEAK SELF. NO. I'm NOT AS WEAK AS SOME THINK, OR AS EVEN AS WEAK AS I SOMETIMES THINK. THAT's SHANNON SPEAKING. SHANONA KNOWS BETTER. AND SHANNON IS ON HER GOD DAMN WAY. STRUGGLING THROUGH CIRCUMSTANCES BOTH SELF- CREATED AND OTHERWISE, WE ALL SHOULD KNOW, AS ARTISTS ESPECIALLY, EVERYTHING IS A PART OF EVERYTHING ELSE... AND WITH THE MIKE OR PEN IN HAND, OR PERSON IN SIGHT WITH AN EAR THAT's OPEN, I WILL LEARN TO SPEAK... FOR THE FIRST TIME. THANKS TO MY FIRST "CABARET THERAPIST", FOR HELPING ME PICK UP MY MIKE. EVEN IF IT ISN't TURNED on... IT's IN MY HAND, AND SHANONA is TEACHING ME TO FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY FINGERS.From the shadows of Sarah Silverman, the druel of Dorothy Parker, the toilet of a few misogynistic Meisner teachers...Shanona Ryder was born... The cabaret version of one of the most spirited people you'll ever meet. And she's oh so bittersweet.Her dream? To be "the Parker Posey of the cabaret world". And much much more.What the hell does that mean? What's cabaret? Ask someone who isn't a Musical Theatre major at some art school. Because this girl believes most know what they know and have a right to speak it. Regardless of their Sondeheim repertoire. God bless him.Although most know Shanona to be most fond of Richard Rodgers.Ah. Cabaret. Or rather Shanona's task... Cabaret Therapy. Have you ever gone on stage with the wrong costume? Cabaret is like that. Only you did it on purpose...
