MEGAN TABAQUE
ABOUT ME: I'm a "halo-halo" human ("mix mix" in tagalog) of Filipinx-Canadian descent. I'm a writer, actor, director, and sometimes producer-type. My plays have been developed by Salvage Vanguard Theater, Tofte Lake Center,  Paper Chairs, and Egg and Spoon Theatre Collective among others. I'm grateful to be a James A. Michener Fellow, Kundiman Fiction Fellow, Sewanee Writers' Conference Scholar, Seattle Public Theater Emerald Prize finalist, and a 2019 Playwrights' Realm finalist. I earned my MFA in Playwriting and Fiction from the Michener Center for Writers in Austin, TX.  I've been a visiting faculty member in playwriting at Bennington College and am the 2021-2023 Emory Fellow of Playwriting.  Currently based out of Atlanta, GA.
