about me

Eric E.J. Meehan stares wistfully into the distance.

Hi, I'm E.J. I'm a Brooklyn based playwright and sound designer. I moved to New York from good ol' Laurel, Maryland to go to NYU. where I got my BFA in Acting from Tisch. Now graduated and in debt, I write plays, bake, and try to grow vegetables. I'm the Spotlight Series coordinator for Make/Shift, a company dedicated to supporting artists in the shift from muse to making, and I'm a proud member of Showdogs' Playwright's Collective.

I live in Brooklyn with my cat, Thomas, who I would do anything for because he's the sweetest boy in the world.

This is my resume.

Read about my plays.
