acting & theatre
Meghan O'Brien Lowery has been singing and performing from the time she could crawl and hopes to leave this world on all fours belting out a tune. Meghan began her love for musical theatre beside her grandmother on the couch watching Funny Girl and White Christmas. Her true journey started quite young studying opera but was soon steered down the Great White Way of Broadway. After a busy high school career of theatre, show choir and dance, Meghan decided to attend Shenandoah Conservatory for her BFA in Musical Theatre. The training at Shenandoah was an incredible foundation for her long career in acting and singing.
Meghan then went on to receive her MFA in Acting from the University of Florida and started her journey in New York. Blessed with wonderful supportive parents, incredible friends and an unyielding work ethic, Meghan found some success supporting Linda Eder in her 2004 Holiday Concert at the Palace Theatre, being directed by Richard Maltby in a reading of The Mask and a lovely role in the NY Fringe Festival. Her long and wonderful twelve years in New York taught her so much about sticktoitiveness, flexibility and recreating oneself to pay the rent.
Theatre training has always been the backbone of how Meghan booked jobs. She was able to morph herself from nanny to financial executive to Chief of Staff in Nairobi, Kenya. She has continued learning over the past 20 years by coaching, mentoring, teaching and volunteering. Meghan has worked as a public speaking coach, volunteered at a Rock and Roll Camp for Girls and mentored young women in over 15 countries for the past decade. She loves children and spending time with those that know the secret language of theatre.

as seen on…
“The stand out acting performance is delivered by Meghan O’Brien Lowery as Mrs. Lovett. Lowery balances the character’s creepy mind, campy humor, and aching humanity (without dropping the cockney accent). Audiences who already know the ending will appreciate her subtly even within the grotesque absurdity of her comedic choices. Her performance is the twisted heartbeat of this production.” — Kristen Nevarez Schweizer, Vangaurd Culture.
