Publications
Smith and Kraus
Soon in 2025 MC’s short play “Missing in Mississippi“ will be published in leading theatre publication Smith and Kraus’ anthology called WE-US: Ten Minute Plays for Gender Minority Characters.
Synopsis: Ryder discovers they’ve lost their gender after a drunken night in New Orleans during their best friend Luna’s bachelorette weekend. Ryder has no nipples, no sex organs, nothing. Not even memories of their missing parts. Who are they? Can Ryder find their identity before losing their best friend Luna too.
Feels Blind Literary
One of MC’s plays Adame and Stevie has been published via “Feels Blind Literary,” a social justice oriented publishing company publishing artists who identify as women.
Synopsis: Right when pill-popping Adame and Stevie become so bored with their lives in the Backyard of Eden that they could bury their heads underground, a divine silver apple appears that can answer all of their existential questions. Scary thing is, the apple is asking them questions too! Will the temptation of eating this forbidden fruit overcome them, or was life better before knowledge came into their lives?
Centre 42: Singapore
Two of MC’s plays are featured and available to read on Centre 42, one of the largest artist networks in South East Asia. Take a look at “Third Culture Clash,” set in Singapore, and “Bender,” set in New Orleans.
Synopsis of Third Culture Clash: Studying in Singapore, G12 students are stretching themselves paper thin, especially theatre kids Vrinda from India and nonbinary Gem from the U.S. Coming of age realism blends with global theatre, questioning art and identity for all audiences.
Synopsis of Bender: Ryder discovers they’ve lost their gender after a drunken night in New Orleans during their best friend Luna’s bachelorette weekend, no nipples, nothing. In this epic quest for Ryder’s gender, they eclipse the bride’s pre-wedding festivities, so can their friendship survive as they search for an identity that makes them thrive?
Shhh! Breathe Slow: An Anthology of One Minute Horror Plays Volume 2
In 2024 MC’s one minute play “OTTO“ was published in a short horror anthology.
Synopsis of the play: The year is 3050. Robotic beings called OTTO (Omnipotent Thinking Transistor Objects) have taken over planet earth. They keep human beings in underground bunkers for a not-so-secret purpose. On their death day, each human is released outside and allowed a “tour” of anywhere in the world. Before he meets his end, Edwin asks his OTTO to bring him to a beloved place from his childhood: Coney Island Luna Amusement Park. Here, Edwin learns the truth behind OTTO’s command of the world and what happened to his mother. There is nothing amusing about what happens next to Edwin.
Smith and Kraus
In December 2022, MC’s monologues “Pride” and “Something to Say” were published in leading theatre publication Smith and Kraus’ anthology called WE-US: Monologues for Gender Minority Characters.
Editor Debbie Lamedman says: This book will remain important long after any of us put it down from our reading. Why? It's a pioneer. It's one of the first of its kind. It is a resource for the acting community, a handbook for the directing community, a place to find material so there's real representation on our stages and a guide for all of us to begin a long overdue conversation about our beautifully unique differences.
Faces of America
As part of the PlayGround Experiment’s festival in New York City, MC’s short monologue play entitled FaceTime was performed and published in the “Faces of America” anthology.
FaceTime combines the calamity of online dating and overemphasis on the perfect dating profile pic with cutting Queer humor.
Fleas on the Dog
“Quarantine XVII” was published in the digital magazine Fleas on the Dog in Issue 12 in 2022.
WHY I LIKE IT: Poetry Editor HEZEKIAH writes…I find MC’s 'Quarantine XVII' both grounding and consolingly animating. If we have been somewhere long enough there is that one view, one window we look out inviting our mind to wander, reflect, resolve, contemplate. Those incidental fixtures that have grown so familiar beyond the glass, remaining constant, comforting us. Meghan takes it further--uber-anthropomorphic: Befriending a lamppost who calls itself "Petunia." "But my friends call me Tuni / So I call her Tuni too." (...what i wouldn't give to be as life-like.) Besides, what's more romantic than a streetlamp? The Cinema has had a love affair with them since the invention of celluloid.
