Megan participated in the Irish Theatre Summer Studio in 2025 with Villanova University.

This three-week intensive program begins in Galway, Ireland, where students can conduct independent research on a chosen topic using the Abbey Theatre archives at the University of Galway library. The course culminates in three major writing assignments: an artist’s reflection, a performance review of a production currently playing in Ireland and a final research paper.

The final two weeks of the program take place in Dublin, where students participate in various classes at The Lir Academy taught by working Irish theatre artists and practitioners such as acting, playwriting, directing, voice and scene studies focusing on a specific Irish playwright. Villanova Theatre professor and Irish Summer Studio program coordinator, Bess Rowen, PhD, accompanies Villanova students and teaches a course on Irish theatre history.
