My name is Eion (he/him/his) and I’m a Chicago-based actor, musician, writer, and omelette enthusiast (I take my breakfast foods seriously). Among the many hats I wear, I am a proud graduate of Columbia College Chicago where I received a BFA in Musical Theatre Performance.

My deep love for music comes from my parents and their great taste in classic rock, country, and Motown hits. From the age of ten, I’ve been a self-taught guitarist and pianist who has written and composed original music for a number of projects, leading to years of performing on stages from my hometown to some of the nation’s most famous venues. In recent years, I’ve stepped foot on stage of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville, Tennessee along with a handful of lovely regional theatres across the country.

This summer, I have the pleasure of joining the team at Peninsula Players Theatre to portray the role of Johnny Cash in their production of Million Dollar Quartet before heading to Paramount Theatre’s brand new Stop Island Theatre to understudy the roles of Johny Cash and Sam Phillips in their production of the show. To say I’m thrilled is an understatement, as I cannot wait to finally dive into this show that is near and dear to myself. Hope to see you there!
