Introducing Lila McGuire
You may not know her name yet, but you’re likely to see a whole lot more of this talented newcomer as she makes her debut as a leading lady.
Having grown up in a series of small country towns in South Australia, Lila knew from a young age that she wanted to be an actor. As a three-year-old she watched Baz Lurhmann’s Moulin Rouge and declared, “That’s what I want to do. I want to sing and dance and act and play for my job.
“But the schools and towns we lived in were so small,” the 28-year-old recalls, “you don’t get a lot of access to theatre programs or anything like that. So the first time I did any kind of community theatre I was in Year 12.”
