Megan Stewart is a theatre artist based in Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island), the unceded, ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

A director, producer, dramaturge, and performer, she seeks out projects that are intrinsically collaborative, interdisciplinary, and rooted in specific community contexts. She has established several celebrated and ongoing theatre festivals and performance events on PEI, including the March of the Crows for Art in the Open in 2011 (with Jamie Shannon & Harmony Wagner), and the Island Fringe Festival with Sarah Segal-Lazar in 2012.

Megan is the artistic director, lead producer and co-founder (with Ker Wells) of River Clyde Arts. In addition to co-directing each summer’s River Clyde Pageant, recent work includes co-directing Jeighk Koyote’s Ocean Kin, direction and dramaturgy for Leah Abramson’s Songs for a Lost Pod; and guiding the creation of The Soley Cove Legacy Project in Economy, Nova Scotia.

 She is a recipient of the inaugural Leo Cheverie Cultural Connector of the Year Award, at the PEI Arts Awards in 2023. Her work with River Clyde Arts has been honored with a 2023 Reconciliation Recognition Award from the Epekwitk Assembly of Councils, and a PEI Museums and Heritage Award.
