Lili Taylor Tickets

Lili Taylor is one of the most versatile and talented actresses working today. Since getting her start in theater, she has gone on to win critical acclaim for her work in film and television. But it's her roots in the theater world that continue to inform much of her work on screen.

Taylor got her start in the theater scene in the early 1980s after graduating from high school. She started out performing in regional theater productions before eventually moving to New York City to attend the acting program at The Juilliard School. While at Juilliard, Taylor honed her craft and worked alongside other up-and-coming stars like Kevin Spacey, Ving Rhames, and Robin Williams.

After graduating from Juilliard, Taylor continued to work in theater, taking on roles in off-Broadway productions and regional theater companies. In 1987, she landed a role in the Off-Broadway play "Machinal," which earned her critical acclaim and helped establish her as a rising star in the theater world.

Taylor's success in theater also led to opportunities in film and television. She made her big-screen debut in the 1988 horror film "She's Having a Baby" and went on to earn critical praise for her performances in independent films like "Say Anything..." and "Dogfight."

Throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s, Taylor continued to balance her work in theater with her film and TV career. She returned to the stage in productions of "Three Sisters" and "Aven' U Boys" before landing a showcase role in the Broadway production of "The Dead Eye Boy" in 2000.

Even as her career took her in new directions, Taylor remained committed to her roots in the theater world. In interviews, she has spoken about how her time in theater helped shape her approach to acting and how it continues to inform her work onscreen.

In recent years, Taylor has continued to work in both film and television, taking on challenging roles in shows like "American Crime" and "Chambers." But despite her success outside of the theater world, Taylor has remained loyal to the medium that launched her career. Her love for theater is evident in every performance she gives, and her impact on the theater world continues to be felt by new generations of actors and performers.
