Sydney Lucas

Acting · b. 2003 · Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Tony-nominated actress and winner of a 2015 Theatre World Award, Sydney Lucas is an entertainer in every sense of the word, having already conquered theater, film and television at just 12 years old! In 2013, Sydney made her off-Broadway debut in Fun Home which premiered at The Public Theater. There she showcased her singing and acting talents portraying Small Alison, a tough but caring, spunky and opinionated little girl who was stifled by her father's ideas of femininity while searching for her identity. For her work in the musical (that was then extended four times), Sydney won an Obie Award (youngest in history), and was nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award, an Outer Critic's Circle Award, a Drama Desk Award, and a Drama League Award.
