Most recently, Meg was seen in The Production Company's, 'Kismet' at the State Theatre. Prior to that she played Minnie Davis in the groundbreaking Australian musical, 'The Hatpin'. Early in 2011, Meg understudied and played two different roles in the Australasian premiere of the fabulous musical revue, 'It's Only Life' at Chapel Off Chapel. Most thrilling was the opportunity of working and performing with the writer himself, John Bucchino from New York!
In 2010, Meg starred in the Australian Premiere of 'The Shakespeare Revue' as part of the Australian Shakespeare Festival in Hobart. She also toured regional Victoria in 'Sylvia Plath - The Girl Who Wanted To Be God' (New Performance Company) and had her first film experience in Working Dog Production's highly anticipated upcoming movie, 'Any Questions for Ben?'.
Meg has been involved in the hilarious musical comedy, 'Eurobeat - Almost Eurovision' (written by Craig Christie and Andrew Patterson) since it's inception at Chapel Off Chapel in Melbourne (2003). Since then, she has starred in 'Eurobeat' at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (No Mates, 2004), as well as the Australian national tour (2006), South Korean tour (2008) and QPAC, Brisbane (2009) for Glynn Nicholas Group. Over the years she has had the joy of being 'Resident Director' and 'Dance Captain' as well as representing Sweden, Greece, Italy, Hungary, France and even Germany (nee Lichtenstein!)
Meg's other career highlights include understudying Marina Prior and Lucy Maunder in 'Harp On The Willow' at the Melbourne Comedy Theatre (Malcolm Cooke & Ensemble Productions, 2007), "Lead Singer" in the inaugural cast of Pacific Dawn (2007-08), Universal Studios (Japan, 2005) and numerous educational musicals for No Mates and Echelon Productions.
