Marguerite (Meggie) grew up in the exciting town of Cheshire, the bedding plant capital of Connecticut, having moved there from Staten Island, NY with a heavy accent that made her wildly popular (reader, it did not). One of five children in a very loud Irish-Jewish house, she writes outsiders surrounded by outlandish characters usually dealing with the past’s effects on the present.
She lost the accent and went on to study playwriting at SUNY Purchase’s Conservatory of Theater Arts and Film. After college, she discovered her love of comedy at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater and wrote as a member of their sketch house teams.
