What is known

Documented. Every row names the source it rests on.

Jane Shaw is a sound designer and composer from Lawrence, Kansas. [www.hartfordstage.org] She read biochemistry at Harvard and expected a research career before leaving the lab for sound design at Yale. [www.hartfordstage.org] She describes the work as building a context for the playwright's words rather than decorating them. [www.hartfordstage.org] Her regional work spans the large American houses. [www.huntingtontheatre.org] The Huntington lists a Drama Desk Award, a Connecticut Critics Circle Award, a Henry Award and a Bessie among her honours, alongside a Meet the Composer grant and an NEA/TCG career development grant. [www.huntingtontheatre.org]

I'm from Lawrence, Kansas, and the daughter of two Classicists. [www.hartfordstage.org]
Instead, I concentrated in Biochemistry at Harvard, working in a lab and considering a future in research. By my fourth year, I realized it was my extracurricular adventures in theatre that most obsessed and excited me. So, I left the lab behind and went to Yale for Sound Design/Sound Engineering. [www.hartfordstage.org]
I love creating an aural context to lift and contextualize the words of the playwright [www.hartfordstage.org]
