Man surrounded by jungle set.

Matthew McMeekin

Matthew is a 44-year-old actor from Bethesda, MD. He started with ArtStream as Old Green Eyes in Saving the Starlight, performed at the Arts Barn in the 2006-2007 season. In 2009 he was James Beard-Childs in It’s a Wonderful Pie which was performed at BlackRock Center for the Arts, so he’s returning to a familiar stage. He has also performed in ArtStream plays at Rosborough Center Theatre, the Olney Theater, and Bender JCC of Greater Washington. Matthew starts each day with a 6 a.m. swim practice (butterfly is his favorite stroke) and then goes on Zoom for classes at Opportunities, Inc. Matthew loves all his hobbies, which include singing, whistling, acting, swim- ming, listening to music, and learning foreign languages (he speaks French, Spanish, and German fluently, and can order a meal in Chinese). He is happy that ArtStream is rehearsing and performing in person now. “Thanks for all the support I’ve gotten from the ArtStream directors, mentors, and fellow actors through the years.”
