Hello! I am a DC based performing artist. Although I am primarily an actor in theatre, I also work as a choreographer, director, educator, artist, and more.
What People Are Saying
“Maria, played by Meghan Bentley as a radically sincere, impossibly sweet character with a Broadway-quality voice that perfectly matches The Sound of Music’s core ethos about valuing and protecting innocence from forces that would seek to destroy it. Bentley’s embodiment of that innocence does not feel too sweet by any means — the simplicity of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s music makes her performance all the more… Bentley’s Maria wins the audience’s affections within about two measures of the song and simultaneously establishes by the show’s second number that this production is a real-deal showcase of some of the top talent the DC metro area has to offer.”
— Alexandra Bowman, DC Theater Arts
“Meghan Bentley plays the perfect Marcy Park. And, no really. She’s perfect. Bentley is flawless in the character, portraying a boredom with her extensive talents in “I Speak Six Languages”, while never crossing over the line of vanity and superiority. Park is just really good at everything, and really over it.”

“...Michael Gale and Meghan Bentley pair up to give us one of the score’s finest songs, a folksy “Second Nature.”
— Brian Bochicchio, MD Theatre Guide
“Meghan Bentley is enjoyable to watch as Marcy, an overachiever in a Catholic schoolgirl’s dress who secretly wants to be relieved of the pressure to win all the time. She shines in one of the best numbers, “I Speak Six Languages.”
