Shelley Mahoney

With her children leading the way and the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of some truly exceptional mentors, Shelley is happy to be learning something new everyday! She continues to search/lobby for a permanent home for the Arts Academy. Shelley is happy to report the birth of a production company, The Academy Presents..., whose goal is to establish and maintain a bursary fund which will subsidize arts programming for local youth.

Shelley is honored to continue to work with Sue Newman whose knowledge of the performing arts and teaching is phenomenal and indispensable as the Academy grows and strives to meet the needs of the families and community who form the foundation of this school for the arts.
