About Showing Up

Helping families feel ready

Showing Up was created to give parents of young performers the kind of guidance Megan wishes her own family had at the start. When she began acting at 11, her parents had no insider knowledge of the industry. They learned as they went, asked hard questions, and made huge sacrifices after she was accepted by Sylvia Young Theatre School.

That lived experience now shapes everything the business offers: practical support, honest advice, and trusted education for families who love performing but do not already know how the industry works.
