Be Our Guest with Luisa Lyons

<p>Luisa is an actor/writer/musician who grew up in Sydney, trained in London, and now lives, loves, and play in the New York City area. She holds a certificate in Meditation Facilitation from Nature Care College, a BA in English and History from the University of New South Wales, and an MA in Music Theatre from the Royal Central School of Speech Drama.<br> <br> Six weeks before her thirtieth birthday Luisa was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Three rounds of chemo, eleven doses of full body radiation, and a stem cell transplant saved Luisa's life, but left her incredibly debilitated. She was unable to eat takeout, ride the subway, or do her favorite thing in the world - go to the theatre. Luisa spent her recovery building <a href="https://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/" target="_blank">Filmed Live Musicals</a>,&nbsp;a website dedicated to cataloging stage musicals that have been legally filmed and publicly shared. It is now the most comprehensive site of its kind, and includes a bi-weekly podcast and a weekly newsletter.&nbsp;<br> <br> Not one to rest on her laurels, Luisa also started running marathons during her recovery, and ran her 5th marathon on the 5th anniversary of her stem cell transplant.&nbsp;<br> <br> Luisa is currently an active member of NYC's MasterVoices Chorus, where she also serves on the Singers Council.&nbsp;<br> <br> When not performing, or reading/watching/writing about musicals, Luisa loves adventuring with her husband Aaron, and Voltaire, their "best of all possible" puppies black lab.</p> <p><a href="https://www.luisalyons.com/" target="_blank">https://www.luisalyons.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/" target="_blank">https://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
