Eamon Keane started his theatrical journey as a local stagehand for a non-union labor company in Greenville, SC. Before long he realized he had found his calling and enrolled at Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL to further his education in the trade. Following graduation, he started working for a small theater company in Savannah, GA. After about one year in Savannah, he was offered a position on the Blue Man Group National Tour as an automation carpenter. This began his now decade long career on the road as an automation carpenter for theatrical productions. As an IATSE union member, he has worked on several shows including Mary Poppins, Kinky Boots, Phantom of the Opera, and The Lion King.
