MEG LYONS - Actress, Singer, Future Star

“I'm very grateful to The Travers Foundation for all the support they've given me.  Studying at Lee Strasberg was amazing and I learnt so much in such a short time."

With funding from The Travers Foundation, local girl Meg Lyons headed to Los Angeles to study a masterclass at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute of method acting in Los Angeles.

Former students of Lee Strasberg include James Dean, Paul Newman and Jane Fonda, and Lee is quoted as saying:  "We cannot give you talent, but we are going to force you to live up to the talent that you have."


The course took place in August 2015, and Meg found the experience unforgettable.

Meg said:

"I'm very grateful to my friends and family and The Travers Foundation for all the support they've given me over the years.  Studying at Lee Strasberg was amazing and I learnt so much in such a short time."

Terry Forsey of The Travers Foundation said:

"We at The Travers Foundation are delighted to be able to assist local talented youngsters like Meg.  We wish her all the best for her future career."

Meg, who is currently studying at the Performance Preparation Academy in Guildford, returned to The Travers Foundation Showcase at the Corby Cube in March 2016.

Here she performed the grand finale, singing the powerful 'I Know Where I've Been' from the musical Hairspray.

Martin McEvoy, Travers Foundation Trustee, Opera singer and impresario said:

"Wow, what a performance!  The transformation in Meg's singing from last year to this is amazing.  Such poise, such confidence - she is the complete package as an artiste.  Remember her name, Meg Lyons is destined to go far!"
