Performing Shannon Elizabeth Blowers Hometown: Indianapolis, IN Graduated from Milligan: 2001 Major: Broadcasting Current residence: Los Angeles, CA Profession: Actress (often performs as Shannon O'Neil) Lights! Camera! Action! During her time at Milligan, Shannon Blowers prepared herself for a life in the spotlight. She studied broadcasting under Carrie Steffey and was highly influenced by Richard Major from the theater department. In fact, she says she hasn't found an acting teacher or mentor as special as him since she graduated from Milligan. "He changed my life," she says, "and gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams as an actress and move cross country." "At Milligan, I was able to act in plays, make my own movie, work with other students on their productions, and do much more than I would have been able to at a larger institution. Carrie Steffey helped me host a TV show and deal with the deadlines of a television production. Milligan's faculty provided such personal attention that allowed me to grow as a person." "The faculty also prepared me for the real world, and Milligan's Christian environment helped me develop the strength to move to a tough city like LA. I live and work in one of the hardest places for Christians, and in an industry that glorifies money, sex, and power. However, there is a growing movement of Christians striving to change the face of Hollywood. My experience at Milligan gave me the hope to be a part of this movement to produce quality entertainment -- to be "the salt and the light" of Hollywood."
