Sean Lyall

Growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Sean has always been a performer. Whether it was on the football field or on the stage, he learned from a young age how to perform under pressure. His love for the arts intensified through high school where he took part in the orchestral band as a drummer/percussionist, acted in theatre productions, performed in musicals and even showcased a fire-twirling routine at The Concourse, Chatswood. In his time at ACA, Sean has had the opportunity and privilege of working with directors such as Gale Edwards, Maeliosa Stafford, Jennifer West, Sarah Carradine, Adam Cook, Troy Harrison, Johann Walraven, Sam Allen, Suzanne Pereira and Julia Cotton. Over the last two and a half years, Sean has had the pleasure of exploring a variety of roles. Credits include Lysander A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Konstantin in The Seagull, Eddy in Fool For Love, 5 in Pool (No Water) and Ben in The Normal Heart. Sean would like to thank students and staff at ACA for their continued guidance and inspiration, with a special thanks to the remarkable Jennifer West for instilling in him a great love of words and poetry.
