Meghan Faddis (Hamilton Chicago and touring companies) continues to speak about her experience in the entertainment industry as a whole, especially as a woman: from navigating internalized standards and pressures, to realizing that “No.” is a complete sentence, and finally deleting all of those damn exclamation points in emails #IYKYK. And while Meghan doesn’t have all the answers, talking about mental health in the theatre world is a super important step towards making the very necessary changes.
After spending four wonderful and fulfilling years with Hamilton, Meghan made the careful decision to leave the show and focus on being home to reset, regroup, and branch out creatively. It was time to take everything she learned from Hamilton and apply it to different art forms and different ventures.
Meghan has fallen in love with working with the new generation of artists by way of dance competition judging and I promise you the conversation is super fun, educational (at least for me!), and really inspiring! You might have seen one of Meghan’s viral judging videos on TikTok, and she breaks down the whole experience. We’re finally getting the new wave of teachers the kids deserve!
