About Meredith
“I’ve wanted to be an actor since I was 4,” she said. “I fell madly in love with John Schneider (a.k.a. Bo Duke) … He was 19 at the time and beautiful. I decided that the only way I would ever get to meet him was to become an actor!”

Fortunately, she adds, it turned out that she actually really did like acting and being in plays, “and I’m not too shabby at it, either.”

Background
Attended SUNY Geneseo; bachelor of fine arts degree in acting from Adelphi University. She has appeared in or directed at least 20 shows in the past 10 to 12 years. One of her favorites is “Catholic School Girls.” She also wrote a play titled “The Hill of Victory.”

Hobbies and interests
Theater, writing, ballroom dancing, sewing, jewelry making, Zumba

In your own words
“The written word may move us, anger us, sadden us, or make us happy, but normally much less so than when we see the story happening in front of us. Theater allows us to relate to the characters, to feel for them, to imagine ourselves in their shoes … through mediums like theater, art and music we are able to relate to something outside our own egos and stay connected to the threads common to humanity across (most) cultures and languages.

“(In this show), I like having such a rich character to work with … she’s struggling with failed relationships and with the idea of where her place is in the world, where her “home” is … It’s just a joy to be in this production.”
