Meet Meghan: The Heart Behind Next Stage Talent Management
When families begin exploring professional opportunities for their children, credentials matter.
But character, experience, and heart matter even more.
Next Stage Talent Management is guided by Meghan — someone who understands this journey from every angle: educator, industry participant, dance mom, and trusted member of the EMC community.
Meghan studied Dance Education at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and later earned a Master’s Degree in Special Education from Goucher College. Since 2012, she has served as a dedicated public high school dance educator, helping students grow not only in skill, but in confidence, discipline, and professionalism.
Her industry experience began early with on-set work as a background performer in Step Up 2: The Streets, followed by commercial bookings including campaigns for Papa John’s Pizza. But her most meaningful industry education came over the past seven years — walking alongside her own daughters as they pursued professional opportunities in film, television, commercial, print, and theater.
Through thoughtful guidance and strategic decision-making, Meghan successfully secured representation with respected New York City managers and agents for both daughters. Their credits include the feature film Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, appearances on Evil Lives Here, Noggin Knows, and PBS Kids, along with commercial and print campaigns for Food Network, Ge**er Childrenswear, and Macy’s. Collectively, they have worked on more than 60 professional commercial, print, film, and television sets.
Beyond bookings, Meghan has become deeply experienced in self-taping techniques, casting platforms, audition preparation, travel coordination for New York City work, and the day-to-day realities of balancing childhood with professional expectations. She is also an industry-approved acting and modeling headshot photographer.
But within EMC, Meghan is also something more personal.
She is a dance mom.
A teaching team member.
A backstage class mom.
A familiar, steady presence in our community.
She understands both the excitement and the questions families have because she has asked them herself.
Next Stage Talent Management is built on preparation, education, integrity, and care. Meghan’s leadership reflects that commitment. This is not about chasing fame. It’s about guiding young performers — and their families — with wisdom, experience, and heart.
