Sketch Creation
About
Seeing through the entire process of a short-form project has become one of Siobhan's passions, and is intrinsically connected to her work in larger productions
Early Development
Siobhan has always loved to write. She started her Middle School Newspaper, which served as a large part of how she learned to be an efficient and entertaining storyteller.
Wanting to write outside of a school setting, Siobhan joined a sketch writing class at The Second City when she was 15. This class was a gateway to Siobhan's further training in the arts.
Siobhan took many classes at Second City such as Sketch writing, Improv, Acting and Standup Comedy. She spent much of high school refining her comedic voice in parallel with her developing skills as a musical theatre performer, and her first experiences as a director and designer.
Revitalizing Passion
In her Sophomore year of College, after taking a long break from writing, Siobhan was cast as Logainne in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, an Improv-based musical which required the writing of a neurotic tirade for Logainne towards the end of the show. Siobhan chose to challenge herself by writing a rotation of speeches, allowing each audience to get a new experience with that scene.
A year later, Siobhan was cast in another production of the show, this time as host Rona Lisa Peretti, a role which required even more written and improvised bits as she gave "fun facts" about the contestants.
Having revitalized her passion for comedy writing, Siobhan auditioned for her campus' experimental comedy group, Untitled!
Untitled! Era
Siobhan made it into Untitled on her first try with a self-produced video sketch entitled "notasexthing@hoottruth.gov", a comedic riff on the dropping quality of Hooters King Crab Legs.
This sketch eventually premiered to a wider audience as part of Untitled's December 2024 show, which featured 30 skits performed in (roughly) 60 minutes, Untitled's primary style of comedy show as inspired by Chicago's The Neofuturists.
Throughout 2025, Siobhan wrote and directed two live skits, "Untitled Simulator" and "How to Circle"
Recently, Siobhan has gotten back into Improv, in July she took Devin Bockrath's workshop "Set Bitch Free" at IO Theatre in Chicago. She hopes to continue writing and performing in the comedic realm.
