My Professional Bio:
Megan Schadler (She/Her) is an international producer, writer and actor originally from the United States. Megan lived and worked in New York City for five years after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and is now transitioning to the UK. Megan has produced theatre, film, and events. Theatre: The Dream Project 3.0, Montreal (Yonder Window Theatre Company) a multicultural retelling of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with circus and original music, In the Bleak Midwinter by Emmy award-winner Dorothy Lyman. Event: A Night of Play, a once-monthly play reading party in Brooklyn that featured more than 30 playwrights and 70 actors. Film/Web: The Lovebirds Project (Verte Creative), The Birth Control Series, new work inspired by lived experiences created and filmed by women around the world, Creative Crusade: The Story of Solitude (Yonder Window Theatre Company) a virtual devised production.
A little about myself. . . I moved to New York in 2014 from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I got my start in theatre from an early age. By the time I was 18 I had wrote and produced my own plays, started an improv troupe, and worked with a theatre company dedicated to devised work. I realized later in life how these early moments really shaped the beginning of my career as a producer.
I worked as a nanny and waitress during and after college. One day, I woke up and said; "If I'm going to be a producer then I better start producing." I decided to quit my safety job and throw everything I had into being a producer. Since that moment, I have worked full-time as a freelance theatre and film producer. I make a point to utilize the skills I learned as a nanny and waitress in my work. Some of those skills being resilience, adaptability, and communication.
Through my work, I've met so many incredible artists from across the world. I'm grateful everyday that my job allows me to connect with and learn about different art forms, cultures, and people.
