Check out the trailer for the soon to be released The Golden Age of Content by The Hive ! Megan acted in, directed, and helped produce this gem of a comedy!
The Golden Age of Content is a short film created and produced by “The Hive” (a writers group and production company made up of diverse women founded by Megan and her friends). The hilarious and poignant short is about a desperate and searching young actress (Jasmine) who finds herself at a kooky artist’s retreat where she is faced with her insecurities and ultimately ends up re-discovering inspiration through her earnest, happy-go-lucky friend Siobhan (played by Megan). The short is now in post-production. It was an absolute pleasure to work on and everyone at “The Hive” can’t wait to share it with you!
The Marriage of Figaro (filmed entirely on zoom!) is now in post-production! A brand new translation of Beaumarchais’ classic comedy in five acts, this vivacious and goofy film is directed by Dr. Temi Rose and stars Megan as Cherubin, the sweet and spirited rake!
Megan is very excited to be performing in Climate Change Theatre Action presents Homo Sapiens on March 27th at the New York Society Library. The reading of Homo Sapiens by Chantal Bilodeau will be followed by a panel conversation with the playwright and guest scientists including Dr. Ana Luz Porzecanski, moderated by Amy Brady.
Come on out and let’s talk about Climate Change!

Megan most recently appeared as Lady M in the CWRU/CPH MFA Acting Program’s Production of Macbeth directed by Taibi Magar.
“Megan Medley’s Lady Macbeth is passionate, seductive and capable, and to borrow from another work of Shakespeare, “though she be but little, she is fierce!” The highlight of Medley’s performance is when she feverishly struggles to wipe nonexistent blood from her hands.”

Sword play in the park with fellow actor Randy Merrill at Wade Oval Wednesdays to promote Cleveland Play House’s Shakespeare in Love video by Ryan Lucas.
At the New Ground Theatre Festival at Cleveland Play House, Megan played a lead in the world-premiere of These Mortal Hosts by Eric Coble (Broadway playwright, The Velocity of Autumn), directed by Laley Lippard.
Megan received a Superior Achievement Rising Star recognition from the Cleveland Critic’s Circle for her work in this piece. These Mortal Hosts also received Superior Achievement for Best Full-Production Premiere of a Script by a Local Writer.
“She is marvelously alive on page and stage; Medley shrewdly channels the jaded logorrhea of girls, so well-captured in Coble’s script”
