BIOGRAPHY:
Ken Dillon started acting in high school as a way of meeting women, but then discovered he was actually good at it. Ken attended Ripon College in Ripon, WI, graduating with a double major in Theatre and English. His post-college professional credits include touring with Bridgework Theatre and the Windy City Players, where he played Huck Finn in "Tom Sawyer". He has also appeared with St. Croix Valley Summer Theatre, playing Kolenkhov in "You Can't Take It With You" and as ten different characters in "Greater Tuna". He has also appeared with the Boulevard Ensemble, Soulstice Theatre, RSVP Productions, and the Alchemist Theatre in Milwaukee, WI, earning critical acclaim for roles like Dan in "Sexual Perversity in Chicago", Lendall in "Almost, Maine", The Man in "Stevie", and Butch Honeywell in "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot", as well as adding another production of "Greater Tuna" and it's sequel, "A Tuna Christmas" to his resume. In 2010, Ken left the US behind for awhile to get his Masters in Acting from the Birmingham School of Acting in Birmingham, UK. Focusing his studies on the British Tradition, Ken appeared in Separate Tables, Twelfth Night, After Mrs. Rochester, The Grace of Mary Traverse, and Playhouse Creatures, often in dual roles because he was the only male member of his program. His thesis was about cross-gender acting. He graduated with Commendation. In the fall of 2011 he made his triumphant return to the US, appearing in the CDS 2011 Showcase in New York
