 William Parker Shore (Brad) went to Arizona State University where he graduated with a BA in Theater. While attending school there he was featured in such productions as Neil Simon’s Come Blow Your Horn, School for Scandal, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith. After graduation he enrolled in the University of Hawaii’s graduate program in Theater where he focused on playwriting and acting. He was fortunate enough to land a part in a “Hawaiian version” of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, as well as his original Moment of Truth – which he also directed.

Upon arriving in San Diego, William put the theater on the backburner while he pursued other areas of his life. After 8 years away, however, the theater’s call grew too loud to ignore. In 2006 he returned to the stage in readings of Death in Grenada and Peace. He is proud to make his 6th and Penn debut in Orange Flower Water.
