Navigation
Shondra Marie has been working in the entertainment industry professionally since 1993. She has worked extensively in the theatre, but has also booked jobs in films, commercials, voice-overs, anime, audiobooks and cast albums. When she is not onstage, on set, behind a microphone, or in Deke Anderson’s film class, she can be found either working as a Standardized/Simulated Patient (and Teaching Associate) in the Med Center or sitting in her living room doing some sort of needlework. Shondra & Todd have 2 cats, whom they love and whom terrorize one another.

Shondra has studied and worked with amazing artists, including Stuart and Ann Ostrow, Jerry Bock, Sidney Berger, Deke Anderson, Jim Conlan, Todd Waite, Paul Hope, Jeannette Clift George, Tom Logan, Glenn Morshower, Mark York and Shelley Calene-Black. She also has a valid passport.



Current Project:

Shondra is excited to be returning to the A.D. Players in their Christmas production of Sanders Family Christmas. It was in the 90s that she portrayed one of the twins, Denise, for 2 summers in Smoke on the Mountain. Now she is back and seeing the story from a different perspective - that of the Mom, Vera.

Sanders Family Christmas: The ever popular Sanders family returns for a 1941 Christmas Eve service before the boys, including one of their own, are shipped off to World War II. Christmas carols and hilarious yuletide stories fill the evening with Christmas cheer in this richly entertaining family musical.
