Megan Tabaque is a playwright and performer from central Florida who cut her teeth in Chicago. Her play, Teen Girl FANtasies (co-written with Kimberly Belflower) was nominated for an Austin Critic’s Table Award for Best New Play in 2015. Most recently her play Galactic Orphans was part of University of Texas at Austin New Theatre showcase (UTNT). In 2017 she was the lead producer of the Cohen New Works Festival, which housed more than 30 interdisciplinary works.
Megan has her MFA in Writing from the Michener Center for Writers where she studied playwriting and fiction. She is also a Kundiman Fellow for fiction, a 2016 Sewanee Writers Conference scholar, and co-faculty for The Rude Mechanicals' Off Center Teens summer program. Megan writes often about young people experiencing magical events in suburban spaces and also about anthropomorphized appliances. Her work is strange, miraculous, and simple.
