Pioneer Press, MN,

	Kristen Shea Penelope I am a native of NC where I studied theatre and musical theatre at Elon University. I have been an actress for over 16 years in NC and Minneapolis and have recently settled in NYC. I have completed several national tours including Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park", and Ronnie Larson's "Making Porn". My true happiness comes from doing comedy. I love to laugh and I love to make people laugh. "Special Talents" came about because I wanted to create more opportunities to perform. My dear friend and playwright, Jeannine Coulombe, agreed to write this show for me incorporating many of my own concepts. I hope you laugh!
