ABOUT
Lily Burka is an actor splitting her time between Washington, DC and New York City.
Lily graduated from American University summa cum laude with a BA in Musical Theatre and a BA in Psychology. While she didn't choose a direct career in psychology, her continued curiosity of the human condition continues to influence how she analyzes characters and theatrical storytelling.
​​
Lily recently returned to the US after spending eight months in Asia with The Sound of Music Global Tour, directed by Jack O'Brien. Whilst abroad, she acquired a great love of travel and learned how to adjust to change very quickly. In the winter of 2024, she understudied three principal tracks in the world-premiere of A Hanukkah Carol at Round House Theatre, a Jewish spin on the Dickens' classic, A Christmas Carol.
Lily has a great passion for Shakespeare plays, Sondheim musicals, pieces about Jewish identities, pieces about queer identities, and contemporary girlhood plays.
