About Shayanne
Shayanne Marin (formerly Ortiz) is an actress, singer, and dancer whose diverse career spans coast to coast—from Off-Broadway in New York to performing across the Los Angeles and Orange counties in California. Some of her most cherished theatre roles include Maria in The Sound of Music, Anette in God of Carnage, Gilmer/Dance Captain in Godspell, and Maureen in RENT.
While she’s primarily behind the scenes these days, Shayanne continues to share her love for theatre arts by serving as an active board member for The Electric Company Theatre in Fullerton, CA and singing locally during the holiday season. However, you'll still occasionally find her performing here and there in Orange County's vibrant theatre community. Please visit the Events page for all of her upcoming performances.
Beyond the theatre, Shayanne is a passionate rare houseplant enthusiast and the owner of Shy Girl Plants, a small business focused on cultivating and selling rare houseplants, and offering houseplant education and resources to plant parents of all experience levels!
