La Shawn returns to Chicago Shakespeare Theater, where his credits include Short Shakespeare! Macbeth and Edward II. Other Chicago credits include: Isaac's Eye, The Liar, Travels with My Aunt, Old Glory, The Turn of the Screw, Othello, The Duchess of Malfi, To the Green Fields Beyond (Writers Theatre); The Wheel (Steppenwolf Theatre Company); Execution of Justice (About Face Theatre); The Island (Remy Bumppo Theatre); A Year with Frog and Toad (Chicago Children’s Theatre); and five seasons of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol (Goodman Theatre). Regional credits include productions with: American Players Theatre, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Cleveland Play House and Notre Dame Shakespeare. La Shawn attended a performing arts high school in Buffalo. First introduced to Shakespeare in seventh grade, La Shawn recalls: “I loved it! I wanted to read ALL the plays!” What he loves about Shakespeare is that “his characters are so flawed and deeply human—that’s always fun stuff for an actor.”
