I’m Profiled in Theater Bay Area Magazine!

Hey, lookit! I’m profiled in the Sept-Oct 2013 issue of Theater Bay Area Magazine!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Lily’s Janiak’s article about me; she manages to make actual coherent sense out of my life and work, which is no small feat. Someone should give that woman a medal.

Aw, shucks. (Little ol’ me?) You’re making me blush. (Don’t stop.)

xoxo -Megan

My Dumplings Interview: “Breathless,” “Shameless,” “Like I’m Screaming One Last Message Out Before Being Hit By A Truck.”

Super-happy with this interview dramaturg Marissa Skudlarek did with me about “Three Little Dumplings Go Bananas.” She asked great questions and made me sound really smart. In the Dumplings interview we talk about sequels, television, the dumpling play that came to be, and the dumpling play that almost was. Check out this exchange: Continue reading →

“Disarmingly Cute,” “Blood-Curdlingly Vicious,” and “A Worthy Successor”: Dumplings in the SF Bay Guardian
