Shannon Purser Hits the Stage in The Ask On The Roundtable With Robert Bannon!

She's been part of some of television's biggest hits, and now Shannon Purser is taking on an exciting new challenge! Best known for her breakout role as Barb Holland in Netflix's Stranger Things , as well as her work on Riverdale and the Netflix film Sierra Burgess Is a Loser , Shannon is making her New York stage debut in The Ask , a thought-provoking new Off-Broadway production alongside the legendary Marilu Henner! Set in a New York City apartment, The Ask follows a young ACLU fundraiser and a longtime donor whose seemingly routine meeting turns into a complicated conversation about politics, personal beliefs, generational differences, and what it really means to stand up for something. Shannon joins Robert to talk about stepping into the world of theater, the excitement and challenges of performing live, sharing the stage with Marilu Henner, and the journey that has taken her from a fan-favorite television character to a leading lady on the New York stage. We also get to know the woman behind the roles, talking about her career, her experiences in Hollywood, and what continues to inspire her as an artist. It's a fun, thoughtful, and honest conversation about taking chances, growing as a performer, and embracing the next chapter! The Ask is playing a limited engagement at Theater 555 in New York City through November 22. Pull up a chair!
