What People Are Saying
Jane Austen’s Persuasion
“Lily Narbonne embodies thoughtful grace and well-earned melancholy as Anne Elliot, the neglected of three sisters, who years ago broke off an engagement with the man she loved, Frederick Wentworth, on the advice of her godmother, and has regretted it ever since.” THE MERCURY NEWS, Sam Hurwitt
“Actor Lily Narbonne knows how to put skin in the game…[she] navigates with seeming ease, adding both weight and buoyancy to Jennifer Le Blanc's outstanding adaptation of Jane Austen's final novel” INDEPENDENT NEWS, Carol Graham
“Lily Narbonne stars in Persuasion, adapted from the beloved Jane Austen novel…” THE MERCURY NEWS, Randy McMullen
A Christmas Carol (A.C.T)
Those cracks in [Scrooge’s] carapace widen… the moment the Ghost of Christmas Past (Lily Narbonne) magically swoops in from the sky on a luminous swing.” Lily Janiak, San Francisco Chronicle, for SF GATE
Beautiful and haunting, the Ghost of Christmas Past's sweeping entrance across the Geary Stage is one of the most memorable moments in A.C.T.'s time-honored classic, A Christmas Carol. The actor who plays the ghost each year is tasked with the unique challenge of being strapped into a swing and hoisted above the audience, all the while maintaining an air of elegance. Third-year MFA Program actor, and self-proclaimed daredevil Lily Narbonne was undaunted by this though” Steinbeck, Inside ACT Blog

Lily Narbonne is an actor and singer based in New York City, originally from rural Massachusetts. She attended the Boston University School of Theatre, and fiercely earned her BFA in Acting. She was awarded the Sir Rex Harrison Scholarship for Emulation of Craftsmanship for her work on Hermione in Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale and Mrs. Shinn in Brecht’s The Good Person of Szechwan. She did a Classical Acting Semester at LAMDA, where she fell in love with playwright Jez Butterworth after seeing Mark Rylance in Jerusalem. After doing many experimental styles of theatre in New York, she wanted to return to her craft within traditional theatre. It was always on Lily’s bucket list to live in San Francisco, so she furthered her training in the MFA Program at the American Conservatory Theater. Her current work is on film with Bad Guru, @badguruproductions upon request, and as the lead in Whipped, by Hank H. Kim at Theatre for the New City in September.
