Erin Lilley

Erin Lilley is an actor and singer living in Mobile, Alabama. The lyric-coloratura is the Vocal Artist in Residence for the Cathedral-Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, can frequently be heard in concerts and recitals, and her debut album, Camena de Angelus, can be found on Amazon.

Erin began voice lessons as a teenager, and continued her education at the University of South Alabama. In 2002, she was one of the first interns named to the Mobile Opera Developing Artist Program, and was also selected to perform in a Master Class for the Metropolitan Opera National Council--an honor she had to turn down, as she was scheduled to play "The Queen of the Night" in The Magic Flute the same day. In 2004, Erin played "Rosalind" in the Mobile Shakespeare Company's inaugural production of As You Like It, making her the company's first leading lady. In 2005, she was invited to study voice with Jeannette LoVetri of the Voice Workshop in New York, and completed her first national tour in 2006, with the title role of "Beauty" in American Family Theatre's Beauty and the Beast.

In 2007, Erin married Thomas Smith, the founder of Fighting Owl Films, a highly-regarded independent film company, for which Erin is a producer and regular player. The company has enjoyed wonderful reveiws, screened in film festivals across the country, and its first feature film The Night Shift received distribution in 2011. Currently, the company is in production on two micro-shorts, and in development on several other projects.

Erin is a Gemini, a bad cook, and the proud owner of an ill-tempered parakeet, Fancy, and Ronnie the Wonder Chihuahua.
