The Ugly One

Biography

Sean Dillon is a Twin Cities-based theater maker, an improviser and improv teacher and director, the founder of dark theater company Oncoming Productions, and the Managing Director of HUGE Improv Theater. He also acts for film and commercials, and is the world's unlikeliest hand model. His especial areas of performance interest include stage horror, high physicality, multi-character performance, devised work, and anything that puts him in contact with new people, voices, and perspectives in the theater.
