Reviews

“Tader Shipley as vampy blond bombshell Miss Sandra also makes her own impression with a soaring rendition of Let Yourself Go and alongside the cast for a sassy take on Teddy Bear/Hound Dog.” - The Sleepless Critic

“The surprising showstopper for me was Tader Shipley in her role as Jolene Oakes, another woman who has fallen prey to Lawrence’s schemes. Her song “Oklahoma” was one of the best parts of the show; I only wished I could have seen more of her.” - Madeleine Aitken, Cambridge Day

“Tader Shipley, as Jolene, an overeager suitor of the Prince, delivers her home state song “Oklahoma” with enthusiasm and verve.” - Michele Markarian, Theatre Mirror 

“Judging by the long, stirring standing ovation given after the performance, there is no question that this staging of "FULL MONTY" is a sure fire hit! For an evening filled with great humor, a terrific score and a dynamite ensemble, don't miss your chance to catch a peek at "THE FULL MONTY" at Umbrella Arts Center.” - Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMAG

Welcome!

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and getting to know a little more about me! 

Born and raised in Bryan, OH, I knew from a very young age I wanted to be a performer. From dance recitals to church choirs, being on stage became a very prominent part of my life very quickly. After graduating high school, I went on to receive my B.A.C in Theatre with a Specialization in Musical Theatre from Bowling Green State University (Go Falcons!). After working several performing jobs across Ohio - I packed up my belongings and moved to Boston, MA. 

When I am not in and out of auditions, you can find me curled up with a good psychological thriller or binging Law and Order: SVU.  

Some of the production’s other memorable musical moments are provided by Saxon (“There’s Always Me”) and Tader Shipley (“Let Yourself Go”) as Miss Sandra. - R. Scott Reedy, Broadway World

“Most of the women seem gullible and naïve with few exceptions including Tader Shipley as Jolene Oakes as a fabulous, cart wheeling southern belle in glittering gold cowboy boots.  Shipley’s over the top delivery as she headlines Oklahoma is an unforgettable treat.” - The Sleepless Critic
