Shayne Taylor

Mal Beineke

Shayne doesn’t have as many musical theater credits as he would like, mostly because he’s a founding member of the a cappella band, Eclipse 6, and their performance schedule does not play nice with other commitments. Shayne has had some amazing Eclipse 6 experiences; including eight albums, performing in the opening and closing ceremonies of the SLC Winter Olympics, and trips to places like Shanghai, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Shayne and his wife write Christmas parodies for the group each year, and these include “Hamildolph” and “The Greatest Snowman.” Coming in November and filmed at Pickleville Playhouse, this year's parody is called "Mean" and is a retelling of the Grinch story using songs from Wicked. You can check them out on YouTube or go to www.eclipse6.com. https://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialEclipseVideo
