Since birth Megan has been entertaining
people, whether it was her giggling and playfulness as a baby, or performing
on stage in front of audiences. Some say right from birth that she was
a natural born actress. Megan was born on November 26th 1986 in Chicago
Illinois.
Around the age or 7 Megan auditioned for a Coke a Cola commercial. Megan unfortunately didn't get chosen for the commercial, but wasn't disappointed either. Afterall the commercial only aired once. In 1996 at the age of 9 Megan performed in her first play entitled "Trouble Brewing at Sumerville Academy" Megan and her drama group wrote the play about an all girl boarding school. "I played a French foreign exchange student in the play. Although my part in the play wasn't big it was still fun to perform and learning my "French" lines wasn't all that easy either." States Megan as she recalls her first play. A couple years later prior to her performing in Trouble Brewing at Sumerville Academy, her drama teacher Melissa Pilgrim moved to Los Angeles to start writing for a sitcom. After Melissa left a new instructor replaced her. Diane, conducted Megan's drama class until the late fall of ‘99’, Megan and her theater group continued to write some other plays in which they performed. They also put on a production of "Bye Bye Birdie", based on the movie version with Ann Margaret. "Bye Bye Birdie, must have been the most enjoyable play that I have performed in so far!! I loved having a big role as Mrs. McAfee." (Kim's mother) says Megan. After Diane left
a new drama instructor was needed. Erin Higgins became the new theater
instructor in the winter of ‘99’.
In 1999 Megan
quit playing soccer due to knee injuries that occurred from her 6 years
of playing soccer. During the 1999 soccer season, Megan was placed up as
a forward on May 8th. On this day, Megan scored her first goal!! She wasn’t
put up as a "forward" that much so it was quite remarkable when she scored
the goal.
Megan misses playing soccer very much but says that she will make a come back. Megan relies on the support she receives from her friends as well as the confidence and determination that she finds within herself to follow her dreams and goals. Megan hopes to one day be an actress on a TV show, in movies or on Broadway. She also wouldn't mind becoming a singer or back-up singer for a music group as well. |
