Shalee Mae Coleman is an early career theatrical director who works in the Twin Cities.

Shalee believes in a theatrical process that prioritizes sustainability and support for all collaborators. This means that while she chooses challenging work, she strives to ensure that the theatrical process prioritizes the emotional, psychological, and physical safety of all involved.
Her aesthetic has been described as poetic as she blends movement, dance, and scene-work. Shalee almost exclusively chooses world or regional premiere work and favors heavy playwright involvement. A proponent of Own Voices, Shalee's work often puts issues of social justice at the forefront.
