Eastern Suburbs Mums

Monday’s Local mum, Olivia Pigeot

24/04/2023

Hi I’m Olivia! I’m a local mama in North Bondi. I’m also a NIDA Graduate (Bachelor of Dramatic Art 1997) and have been a professional actress for over 30 years, with a career in film, TV, theatre and voice over.

Noticing a gap in primary aged education, Bondi Kids Drama was birthed…
