PERFORMING
Meredith's been performing professionally for over two decades, from working in the commercial world to bopping around the comedy circuit to tackling the stage and screen.
​
ACTING
Meredith has been acting since she was five years old. She has performed on stage in countless plays and musicals, like Scarcity (Atlantic Theater Company, OOBC) and 13 the Musical (Perry Award nominee). Her earliest commercial work can still occasionally be found popping up around the Greater Philadelphia area. She's trained in acting for the stage and screen (and audio-only mediums!) with The Barrow Group, MacGuffin Theatre and Film Company, and The Actors Center. She often performs new musical theatre work with the BMI Workshop and many theatrical incubators and festivals like NYC Fringe.

CABARET & VARIETY
Meredith has a range of cabaret and variety show acts that she puts up across the city. As a young performer, she traveled with MacGuffin Theatre Company's cabaret troupe. These days, she often produces, hosts, performs in, and regularly sells out her very own cabaret and variety shows at venues like Caveat, The PIT, and Velvet Brooklyn.

Solo show
Meredith's musical-parody-storytelling-comedy solo show, Joy Ride, was recently performed at the 2024 NYC Fringe Festival, winning the Audience Choice Award and the Sell Out Award (for selling out the entire run before opening night!). She first staged the show in the Emerging Artist Theatre's New Work Festival in NYC, and she brought the show to Philly for two sold-out encore performances following that initial run. In addition to the full-length show, Meredith has crafted a version of Joy Ride that she performs in corporate settings as a creative storytelling workshop.
