A Neverending Stream of Extraordinary Awesomeness
Hailing from Chevy Chase, MD, I began my career as a musician and singer. Childhood performances included a pre-inaugural celebration for Bill Clinton in 1992, a celebrity-studded event produced by Quincy Jones. Fellow performers included Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Will Smith, Tony Bennett, Diana Ross, and more. As a violinist, Megan toured England and Wales with the Maryland State Orchestra, and worked with the Round House Theatre as Education and Outreach Associate, coordinating operations for theater's summer drama camp programs.
While studying Drama at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, I was the production assistant on Kiki and Herb's Obie-Award winning show Jesus Wept, as well as the accompanying Christmas album Do You Hear What We Hear? featuring Isaac Mizrahi, Molly Ringwald, Debbie Harry, and Rufus Wainwright, produced by acclaimed musician Julian Fleischer.
In 2003, I became the General Manager and Producer with the Legitimate Theater Company. Under my direction, the group mounted guerilla-style street theater projects, variety shows, and the downtown smash hit Twelfth Night: The Drinking Game, featured here in a New York Times article written by Robert Simonson. Works with the Legitimate Theater Company were featured at the New York Fringe Festival, Manhattan Theater Club, the Collective Unconscious, the Slipper Room, the Gene Frankel Theater, crowds of smokers outside bars, the New York subway, and a messy warehouse loft in Red Hook.
Subsequent productions and not-for-profit fundraising projects included work with the Ensemble Studio Theater, Target Margin Theater Company, the Diverse City Theater Company, and Care for the Homeless. For more information on those projects, please click here.
See, it really happened!Then, I went to Macau, to work as a singing gondolier. I was as surprised as you are. She traveled to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Kuala Lumpure, Korea, and the Phillipines, ate spectacular food, and amassed an impressive library of amusing anecdotes about singing "O Sole Mio" along the faux-Italian canals.
In 2010, I began work with Science House, LLC as the Special Events and Outreach Manager, later growing into the role of Director of Operations. Acting as the coordinator for a dizzying array of projects, I fostered connections between the entrepreneurial, investment, and scientific communities through public events, private salons, monthly pitch meetings, and one-on-one business consulting sessions, drafted press releases and produced web content, video media, and mobile applications, lead panel discussions and brainstorming sessions, worked within a team to produce gameshow formats for network television, and more. I was the Chief Operations Officer with the startup PopView Maps, and project lead for the fine art exhibition Infinite Perspectives: Places I'll Remember at Underline Gallery, featuring the 3D maps of Jeffrey Ambroziak.
In additiona, I have been a fine art and figure model, featured in the gallery exhibition Clothing Immaterial for acclaimed photographer Francis Hill and the book I Am Amerikan by Raphael Fuchs, screamed my lungs out in a sound booth as a variety of torture victims for Everest Productions, shimmied in a swimsuit for FOX's Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, and portrayed a wild Jerry Springer-esque guest for a parody commercial for Tokyo's Hot Pepper Beauty.
