Meghan Andrews

Meghan Andrews may have been the youngest to ever perform at The Actors' Studio, where she did a scene from The Miracle Worker when she was 10 years old. After seeing her work, Estelle Parsons offered Meghan a role playing opposite her in Forgiving Typhoid Mary at George Street Playhouse. Later, Meghan would become a lifetime member of The Studio.

She made her Broadway debut in Steppenwolf Theatre Company's The Grapes of Wrath, alongside Gary Sinise and Lois Smith (she later worked in her adult career with Lois Smith both in The Cherry Orchard and The Trip to Bountiful Off-Broadway and at The Goodman Theatre, Chicago, working alongside legendary playwright Horton Foote). Meghan left Broadway at the time to move to television where she starred in 2 seasons of The Babysitters Club, which aired on The Disney Channel, HBO, and most recently NETFLIX.

Now Meghan is a classically trained singer and an award-winning Actress (WINNER! 2022 Broadway World Award for her work as "Lady Macbeth" at The Alabama Shakespeare Festival, NOMINATED! Lucille Lortel Award for "Thelma" in The Trip to Bountiful alongside Lois Smith). She's appeared in over 30 theatrical productions (Broadway, Off-Broadway, 1st National Tours, Regional, World Premieres, US Premieres). You may recognize Meghan from her Film and TV work on NBC, F/X, CBS, etc. Recently she premiered in Season 2 of Shrinking on Apple TV playing "Jennie" alongside Jason Segel, Michael Urie, and Heidi Gardner, directed by Zach Braff.

Ever since her aunt lent her a Martin guitar and Meghan taught herself to play, songwriting has been a part of who she is. She played her original music solo and in bands all over NYC (The Bitter End, CBGB's Gallery, City Winery, Rockwood Music Hall, Cornelia Street Cafe, The Living Room, Brooklyn Bowl) and LA
The Mint
House of Blues
Gengis Cohen
Witzend, The E Spot Lounge). She toured the West Coast and won a few awards (WINNER! Best Song & Best Performance for songs "Sweet Louise" and "99" West Coast Songwriters Competition 2014).

Meghan has 4 studio albums. Several notable musicians appear on each including Steve Gadd, Brain, Zev Katz, Greg Cohen, and Jaik Miller (R.I.P). She was asked to sing at Horton Foote's memorial and was subsequently introduced to Walter Sear (R.I.P), who offered to co-produce her album Lights Like This at his legendary studio, Sear Sound, NYC. After winning the West Coast Songwriter's Competition, Cookie Marenco of Blue Coast Records invited Meghan to record the album Just Let Go with her high-resolution audio label, leading to many collaborations with Cookie including a 4 song EP of covers and 2 Albums, Venus Rising and Special Event 43, all recorded live to DSD.
