 Stephanie Lillis is a recent graduate of Performing Arts at Monash University with an Honours year in acting, movement and vocal training. She has also just completed a clowning course in Paris at the internationally renowned "Ecole Philippe Gaulier" learning so many valuable skills to incorporate into any Tony Bones character!
Stephanie has been performing to children since she was a child herself! Her school holidays were spent performing pantomimes such as “Hansel and Gretal” and “Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs” for Bayside Children’s Theatre Company. Throughout her high school years, Stephanie involved herself in Players Theatre Company performing in musical productions such as “Pirate’s of Penzance”, “Godspell”, “Joseph and the Technicolored Dreamcoat” and “Oliver”. During university Stephanie joined Michael Clohesy productions to perform “The Gone Fruities” - a show promoting fresh fruit in a child’s diet. This show travelled to shopping centers and festivals around Victoria. Stephanie also performed in a show called “Survivor Schoolyard” which explored the effects of bullying on teenage girls. This show was performed at schools and theatres around Victoria. Most recently she even appeared in the latest "Vegemite" commercial on Australian TV.
Stephanie’s musical training began at the tender age of 6 with piano lessons. Over the years she has achieved an 8th grade AMEB standard in piano. Stephanie’s passion for music has now transferred to singing. Over the past year, she has been training with Marcelle Knapp. Whilst learning as much as she can about the Performing Arts, Stephanie has had the opportunity to teach others, especially children. Stephanie has been teaching singing and after school drama for a company called “Acting Antics” for the past four years and has directed children in over 8 theatre and music theatre productions.
Stephanie is delighted to be part of the Tony Bones team and is looking forward to joining the fun at your next birthday party!
