Meet the Company

Megan Borkes (she/her)

Gale
Megan Borkes (she/her) - Gale Megan is a native to Orlando, FL and is tired of it, grandpa. You may have seen her in one of her many roles at the parks, or hopping from theater to theater depending on who needs a sarcastic, comedic woman with the ability to cry at the drop of a hat. Favorite roles include Alex in "Qualia," Catherine in "Proof," and Anna in "Closer," as well as the guy who says "a WHUUUAT?" in Jaws when Hooper tells them the shark they caught was a tiger shark. She didn't play that role, but what a role! Love, as always, to her Jason who keeps telling her to take a break and maybe she'll listen one of these days.

He also had the pleasure of making his New York City debut with the Orlando Artist Guild as Glen Berger in the New York cast of The Spider Queen.
