Megan Cramer

Megan Cramer is currently the Arts Integration Specialist at The Galloway School, following six years serving as their Upper Learning Theatre Teacher. Born and raised in Atlanta, and a proud graduate of Midtown (formerly Grady) High School, Megan spent 15 years living, working and making theater in New York City, most notably as the Associate Artistic Director of The 52nd Street Project, where she helped hundreds of kids write and act in original plays. In 2008, she founded an annual playwriting program – the Grady Playmakers Workshop -- an intensive curriculum for high school students that culminates in a staged reading of their work, featuring professional Atlanta actors. When she is not teaching and directing, she performs as an actor around Atlanta (Synchronicity Theatre, Horizon Theatre, Alliance Theatre, Woodstock Arts, Georgia Shakespeare Festival, and more). All of Megan's work is focused on developing new pieces of theater & movement, reimagining the classics, and bringing out each individual's voice and instinctive talents. Whether she is working with children, teenagers or adults, she encourages everyone to remember what it is like to "play," and how to structure that sense of play into a cohesive and exciting original piece of art.
