Lisa McCune says she counts herself lucky that she’s been able to dip her toes into the television world and theatre as well.

The well-loved Australian actress says her experience on stage is very different to the gruelling TV filming schedule, but says she loves and appreciates both.

“Theatrical world is sustaining 8 shows a week, you’re on stage live for 2.5 hours, and you’ve got a live audience, they’re different every night so you’re kind of having to check in with them,” she told Sofie Formica in Sofie’s Tea Time chat.

“On television of course … it’s kind of like studying, you’re remembering new stuff all the time, that’s exhausting.”

She will feature in a new musical in Brisbane, Girl from the North Country, where she plays a character with early onset dementia.
