January 22, 2018 Edward Rutherford
MeganDeLay.jpg
  1. Where you were born/where were you raised? Born in Wisconsin, but mostly lived in Minnesota growing up.
  2. Zodiac sign? Scorpio
  3. What are/were the careers of your parents? Mom is an Accountant (just starting her own firm!), Dad works at Malt-O-Meal (yes, the place where almost all cereals are made)
  4. Do you have any Siblings? 2 younger sisters, and 2 step-brothers and 1 step-sister (her name is also Megan)
  5. Where were you trained?: Undergrad was at Millikin University and Grad School at FSU- Asolo Conservatory
  6. Current favorite audition song or monologue to use: A song I love using for auditions is “Mira” from CARNIVAL, a show I think needs a revival.
  7. Why did you want to be a part of Nevermore? I loved working with Ed on THE LIAR and got the chance to see SHOCKHEADED PETER. After the great experience I had and the fantastic show I saw, I knew that NEVERMORE was going to be something very special! I am so thrilled to be a part of this production!
  8. Recent show in Chicago (other than Nevermore) that you think is must-see: MARIE CHRISTINE, J.B., TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, and IN THE NEXT ROOM is a favorite show of mine.
  9. Favorite Edgar Allan Poe poem or story? I’ve always loved “The Tell-Tale Heart” and now being familiar with more of his work, I really like “The Black Cat” and “Lenore”.
  10. What's your favorite non-Poe scary art? (can be a movie, book, painting, song, etc.) Edward Gorey!
  11. Most played song in your music collection: My “bedtime” playlist of ambient sounds.
  12. Favorite or most memorable onstage role as a child/teenager: During a community theatre production of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON, the boy playing “Peter" got sick and I went on last minute as “Petra”.
  13. Worst onstage mishap: During a production of GAME OF LOVE AND CHANCE, I was about to make an exit when a piece of the door frame above me fell off and hit me on the head. I was fine, just a little bruise on my head and the show went on!
  14. Worst costume ever: I played a raccoon in a children’s production and the worst thing was that the costume was a onesie and a quick change but the zipper was always malfunctioning. More than once I had hold my onesie closed with my paw while dancing around to holiday music.
  15. Worst job you ever had: I’ve had so many jobs, but the most stressful was as a bike tour guide through Central Park in New York. I was terrified that I would lose tourists along the way.
  16. Craziest audition story: I don’t know if I have a “craziest”, I’ve just had so many that felt awkward or I was just out-of-my mind nervous.
  17. Role(s) you’ve been dying to play: There are so many I’d love to tackle, you could pretty much name a show and there would be a role I’d love to explore.
  18. What were you afraid of as a child? Dogs. Absolutely terrified. Not any more. I’ve love to adopt a dog, but instead I have a cat that acts like a dog.
