Megan will be playing the role of HAMLET in this current-day adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic HAMLET. When a former MMA fighter and Army Veteran returns from war in Afghanistan, she finds her mother dead, her father married to her aunt, and her inheritance at stake. Haunted by grief and propelled by revenge, Hamlet must face the ghost of her mother, along with the ghosts of Afghanistan, to enact justice within a community that has grown power-hungry and rotten.

Saturday, 3pm at The Tank, NYC.

Excited/humbled/shook to win a BroadwayWorld award this year for The Speakeasy SF!!!! So much love to my theatre community and my friends and family!

‘Wicks and Hebert are in sync with each other and the story—Hebert as the protective and proud father (identified in the program as “H”), and Wicks as the strong, fearless, yet vulnerable daughter (identified as “M”), directed with the right blend of intensity and delicacy by Gail Dartez. Wicks is mesmerizing as she wears her internal emotional struggles on her tattered sleeves.’

-Patti Roberts, Sacramento News Review

“Rich Herbert and Megan Wicks discuss how her work was inspired by the Greek Tragedy “Electra” and placed in a Florida swamp setting. “The Arsonists” runs at Capital Stage through April 15 as part of a rolling world premiere.”

‘The more I think about this play, the more I appreciate it and want to see it again. That is not always the case, believe me. I’m glad somebody wrote this—specifically Jacqueline Goldfinger—and that Capital Stageencourages and performs such new works.’

“This is not a “wordy” play, but each bit of dialogue is pure gold’

One time B Street intern Megan Wicks, as the daughter, gets opportunities to shine, as well, as a feisty, socially awkward girl who doesn’t have much of an independent social life. But eventually, after a fire goes wrong in a bad way, the dad urges his daughter to get out of the family business, and put away the matches and the gas can.

“…with femme dynamo Wicks delivering a heated monologue that clearly transcended memorized lines, piercing directly into the realm of heartfelt passion.”

“She was baring her biggest teeth while still trying to walk the invisible, ever-present tripwire line that divides spoken argument from physical male violence, the threat always credible.”

-Somewhere SF

“Wicks is excellent in the 80 minute internet web and handles her all male cast with strength and easel. 

-Vince Media

#bros was selected by Lily Janick, the SF Chronicle theatre reviewer, as this week’s theatre pick!

“Megan Wicks plays a take-over bartender who fills in admirably for those guys, now gone. Her talent shines as she swaggers around, making the world anew for women.”

-Theatrius Review by Barry David Horwitz

Megan has been cast in Faultline’s musical production of Where The Boys Are. She will be playing the role of Sarah in this new play written by Vanessa Flores and directed by Kieran Beccia.

”A broken heart and a baby shower. Sounds like a lighthearted Sunday. Actually it's Saturday, but will your Sunday be any different? All the boys are gone. It's our world now. So you better be "gettin it", girl. Or else.”

Today, Megan wrapped filming a featured role in a Twitter Industrial with The Cabinet production company and Scott Wickman

Join us as 3GT turns the tables on the venerable “Christmas in July” tradition with our all-new production of Southern Lights.  It’s a blues-y tale of true love gone bad, success, and betrayal set in a down home east Texas bar (where else?) and told through the lens of country music—complete with the humor, torch-n-twang, real pathos and sentimentality the genre is known and loved for (boots and hat not required. . . )

SOUTHERN LIGHTS runs from December 5 – 22 , 2018

From the playwright: “Thrilled to say that THE ARSONISTS will go international in 2019!! More info to come. Thanks for sharing your hearts and stories with us over the past year!”

Megan Wicks and The Speakeasy were featured in "What’s Happening This Fall in Bay Area Arts" on SF's acclaimed public radio station KQED.

Michael Krasny and Chloe Veltman discuss what immersive theatre is and shower praise over San Francisco's premiere experience opening this October. (Starts at 22 minutes).

"Velma, played by the sexy, vibrant Megan Wicks is in constant drama backstage. It is easy to spend too much time listening to her gossip and miss the other action out in the halls!"

"...and features the pitch perfect voice of Megan Wicks."

"... the lovely-voiced Megan Wicks as the sultry Velma..."

The San Francisco Examiner had Speakeasy on the front page today (December 11th). Inside was a gleaming article, featuring this quote from Jean Schiffman: 

"...because I’d been watching the sexy chanteuse Velma (Megan Wicks) having an embarrassing drug- and alcohol-fueled meltdown in the cabaret. That was after my encounter with her in the hallway, where she was having a hissy fit because she had to share her dressing room with the chorus girls."

Press photos were taken this weekend for Speakeasy SF! 

Previews are officially sold out!

Thanks to Ben Krantz, we've got new headshots in the building! After that big haircut, it was much needed.
