Darien Resident Steve Shanks to direct & perform in Vino Veritas

The Darien Arts Council is thrilled to have Steve Shanks as not only Director but Performer in our production of Vino Veritas!
Steve is returning to acting and directing after a brief hiatus while getting married and starting a family. This will be his first production with the Darien Arts Council, where he is a Board Member. Previous acting roles include John Proctor in “The Crucible”, and Oscar in “The Odd Couple” at the University of St. Francis and Lenny in “Of Mice and Men” with Latitude 41 in Joliet. He also co-directed “The Odd Couple” with his former co-star Jeff Matson 10-years later for Latitude 41. Though his most cherished roles are the parts of loving husband to his wife Nikki, and father to his 3-year-old daughter Carissa. To them, Steve owes untold appreciation and thanks for allowing him the time to work on this production. Many thanks to the cast for taking this journey and diving into these roles. It is a joy and honor to explore these characters with each of them for our audience.
Please join the DAC in thanking Steve for all of his hard work!! #darienil #darienillinois #darienilartscouncil #supportcommunitytheatre ##supportyourlocalartscouncil
