About

Meredith L. King makes words and sounds collide on the stage, including work as a playwright, performer, lyricist, and composer.  Meredith is currently a cadre member with Maelstrom Collaborative Arts in Cleveland, Ohio where her artistic work includes creating original work for Short Form 2018, Bricolage 2018, Bricolage 2019 and Saturnalia 2018. This summer Meredith is producing Maelstrom’s newest mixed media show Rising Tide. Other recent credits include work with Cleveland Public Theatre’s Entry Point (Saturated Fat and Bipolar Mixtape) & Station Hope Programs (Under/Stand and When They Took My Grandmother), and Talespinner Children’s Theatre’s PLAYground (The Garden of In-Between). As a director, performer and musician, Meredith has worked with Round House Theatre’s Heyday Players, dog & pony dc, eXtreme eXchange, The Hegira and African Continuum Theatre, including participating in the Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage Festival. Meredith received a B.A. from Stanford University and an M.B.A from Yale University. She has worked  professionally as an arts administrator,  teacher and community organizer on the national level.  Meredith served a three-year term as a judge for Washington, DC’s regional theatre awards, The Helen Hayes Awards, and has also served six years as a reader/judge for the Source Theatre Festival. Meredith frequently creates work focused on people who live at the intersections, who are simultaneously hypervisible and invisible, but whose stories rarely make it to the stage. Meredith is passionate about theatre that brings the personal into the public and serves as a catalyst for connection and community building.
