Meet Lyonel!

Lyonel -- a recent Chicago transplant after being bi-coastal in the NYC/LA regions performing regionally as well as touring Nationally and Internationally; respectively. He is also proud to be on the cover of the published play WILD by Crystal Skillman, where he originated the role of VIN.  He is an actor, artist, writer, comedian, and public figure taking the opportunity to laugh, speak truth to social and cultural injustices in our world all  while using the word "woke" and the truth behind it anytime he can :)  Recently completing the School at Steppenwolf and riding the connections made with artists who are driven to change has informed  HIS artistry and inspired his excitement to be in Chicago.
