Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, where you grew up etc?
My name is Lily May Thunder. I am 13 years old. I grew up in Clondalkin and I’ve lived there since I was born, it was my first and only home. I have two older brothers who are both in their late twenties. I’m the first in my family to do musical theatre and keep at it. I do competitive horse riding, dancing , singing, acting and I also teach and play the guitar.
Tell us about your interest in the performing arts?
I love performing in front of any audiences. I started acting when I was eight years old at talented kids performing arts school and I still attend classes. There is just something about the performing arts that attracts me more than other activities. I participate in as many things such as this that I can.
What is your role in the upcoming Stagecraft musical?
My upcoming role in stagecraft musical is the role of Matilda Wormwood. Matilda is a five year old child who is quite intelligent and has a whole lot of confidence. I am very excited to play the role of this mischievous little bookworm! I am also one of the dancers for Aladdin!
What is your favourite bit about performing?
To be honest my favourite bit about performing is the rush of adrenaline that I get once I set foot on that stage, though I do love going to rehearsal because I have met so many new and fabulous people that I feel like I have known my whole life! I love getting the work done too as well!
Would you like a career on stage or behind the scenes?
I would 100% love to land a career on stage. I would hate to miss out on having that rush of adrenaline once I’m on stage, I just couldn’t imagine being backstage!!
