Shannon was approached by Costume Designer Jennifer L Bryan while working in New Mexico and was commisioned to create two looks for the character Mr. Diabate played by the talented Samba Schutte. The production has quickly become one of Shannon's favorite experiences. The pieces were so popular, Shannon was also asked to create the Red Carpet Premier and promotional looks for Samba.
