Meg Martinez is an actress, singer, and writer from Northeast Ohio, living and performing in the Cleveland area. She is an Equity Membership Candidate and holds a Bachelor's degree in Theatre Arts from Brown University.
Meg has been seen in such roles as the titular nanny in Mary Poppins, Marian Paroo in The Music Man, Johanna in Sweeney Todd, Janet Weiss in The Rocky Horror Show, Imogen in Cymbeline, Sister James in Doubt, Ida in Princess Ida, Miss Wilmot in the US premiere of The Woman Hater, and Susan in [title of show]. She has also performed as a Soprano Soloist in Handel's Messiah, Haydn's Missa in tempore belli, and Rutter's Gloria, and is currently the soprano section leader and soloist at Rocky River United Methodist Church.
As a choral singer, Meg studied with the late Grammy-winning conductor Dr. Robert Page and sang at venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Strathmore in Washington, D.C., and Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. She was also hand-picked by Dr. Page to be a member of the All-Star College Chorus with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Pops, performing in a special tribute concert for Marvin Hamlisch as well as the PSO's Valentine's Day concert series.
Besides being a performer, Meg is also a comedy writer and comedienne and has cultivated a personal style she calls "honest comedy." This style is inspired by performers like Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, and Tim Conway, and heavily based in physicality, costumes, and sight gags. It's anchored by the truths of each character, however ridiculous they may be, and it's entertainment without an agenda, aiming simply to make people laugh and to brighten their days.
Meg also has extensive training in dramaturgy and spent her first two years of undergraduate study as a Dramaturgy major at Carnegie Mellon University, and she has experience in quick-change wardrobe crew, directing, casting, and stage management.
Outside of the theatre, you can often find Meg reading mysteries, creating new vegan recipes, or watching The Golden Girls.
