Theatre Experience & Highlights
Megan Magee began her acting career as a musical theatre performer. After completing her training at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, she took part in various musical cabarets at The Duplex, The Triad, and Don’t Tell Mama’s, as well as touring with the National Tour of Angelina Ballerina: The Musical with the Vital Theatre Company. Eventually wanting to break into straight acting and film, she enrolled in the Two-Year Meisner Conservatory at William Esper Studio, training with Terry Knickerbocker.
Performance highlights include understudying the role of Hillary in Women Are Crazy Because Men Are A**holes at The Cherry Lane Theatre, and eventually playing the role full-time in an extended run of the show at the June Havoc Theatre while also understudying Nicole, playing Beta Carotene in GYMNOS: A Geek’s Tragedy, an experimental comedic dance & movement piece detailing one man’s fitness journey at HERE Performining Arts Center, and originating the role of Tweedle Dum in Your Alice by Billie Aken-Tyers, taking the play from the Ophelia Theatre blackbox in Queens, to BAM, and eventually to Edinburgh Fringe ‘18.
Most recently, she played Private Jane Benson in the 50’s sci-fi parody musical in the on-going run of It Came From Beyond
at St. Luke’s Theatre. She is also a proud member and frequent performer of The 68 Cent Crew Theatre Company.
Megan has studied classical and contemporary performance at The Pearl Conservatory, William Esper Studio, Stella Adler and Terry Knickerbocker Studio, as well as improv classes at The People's Improv Theatre.
