About Liam
Liam is dedicated to making art that connects people to each other and to the physical world around them. Liam grew up performing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, working with The Milwaukee Repertory Theatre and First Stage. His training includes: Northwestern University, BS in Theatre and Acting, the British American Drama Academy, and the Bienen School of Music.
"Nothing stole the show quite like Ken, the talking dog next door... Jeninga’s performance was uncanny yet still comedic — tapping into a cartoonish but tender representation of dog-ness. Ultimately, Jeninga made it clear: If dogs did talk, this is exactly how they’d be."
Liam views all art as a question. His approaches are firmly based in research and interrogation. He is known for his ability to make creative decisions sourced from deep study. He has an interest in the material world and in how people engage with the world. Liam specializes in Elizabethan theatre, Theatre for Young Audiences, and Puppetry. He believes in the tenacity of classical works and their power to be reinvisioned in the modern world, he believes that theatre is for everyone of all ages, and he believes in the power of the material world to push the boundaries of human experience.
