Megan van Dyke, M.Sc., is beyond excited to finally be making her stage acting debut at the Tobin Theatre-a long time dream of hers. She began modeling at the age of 1, with baby pageants, and training classically in the arts at the young age of 7, at the Fillmore Arts Center in Washington D.C.. A short 8 years later, she started touring nationally with the Shooting Stars of Lynn Meadows in south Mississippi, a group that had been founded by the Emeril Lagasse Foundation. Since then, she has performed as a singer, actress-both stage and film, and dancer, performing in theaters and companies throughout Texas, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, Louisiana, New York, the Carolinas, and Washington D.C.. Some of her favorite credits include: Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Du Vent dans Les Branches Sassafras, Vagina Monologues, Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5, Clayborne Park, Rumors, Disgraced, You Can’t Take it with You, The Importance of Being Earnest, Rocky Horror, and Ethics Follies, to name a few, in addition to a short tour with Sharon Needles from RuPaul’s Drag Race, and a film project for Sundance. She has even acted in 3 films entered into the San Antonio Film Festival, at the Tobin.
When she is not gracing the stage or the camera, she is a bourbon connoisseur and spokesmodel and enjoys aerial dance and circus arts, as well as working on completing her 6th degree in artificial intelligence and human factor engineering. With this, she hopes to one day take her company to international recognition, as she continues to accrue more theatrical and film credits when able.
