About Me
MEGAN BEATTIE is a Los Angeles-based actor who was born and raised in the Bay Area, California where she pursued acting and music from a young age.
That’s baby me in the guitar case :)
She recently graduated with honors from NYU Tisch School of the Arts where she trained at Playwrights Horizons Theater School. In addition to a BFA in Dramatic Arts, she also minored in Business Entertainment Media Technology. Her acting style combines methods from Grotowski, Strasbourg, Viewpoints, and Alexander's technique. She also developed a passion for improv and devised work when she created and wrote her own role, in Scott Sheppard’s SPEECH (2019, Playwrights Downtown).

When she is not creating, Megan is also an activist for gender equality. In college, she held the title of Co-President of Students for Sexual Respect at NYU and started the Annual Art Showcase which is a space where survivors and allies can use any artistic medium of their choice to tell their stories and empower others.
In August of 2021, Megan made her producing debut with The Story of My Boobs, a devised piece raising awareness about breast cancer, and transgender health. The evening also included a photo gallery, and a showcase featuring the work of transgender and queer artists. All the proceeds of the event went towards raising funds for women and transgender health research.

She now resides in Los Angeles where she has been producing her own work, working on her EP, and acting in indie movies. Most recently, she played Bass Player in “Plan B” (Brandon Tamburri) acting with Jon Heder.
