Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Megan E. Roberts, a theatre educator and stage professional based in Union, New Jersey. I love guiding middle school students through theatre arts, directing vibrant productions, and bringing creative writing to life on stage. My work blends collaboration, storytelling, and hands-on learning to help young artists grow confidence and craft.
Beyond the classroom, I balance stage management and production roles across community theatres and professional settings, from school shows to seasonal ensembles. I value teamwork, adaptability, and mentoring the next generation of theatre-makers as they explore performance, design, and storytelling.
