Valerie Meachum
Born in the Downriver suburbs of Detroit, Valerie Meachum grew up an Air Force brat, logging fifteen addresses by age twelve. Now based in the Chicago suburbs, she's equally at home in new plays on storefront stages, musicals and classics in the burbs, and the vibrant independent film scene of "Hollywood Midwest."
She has written and is working on producing an evening-length solo theatre piece about Pre-Raphaelite model/artist/poet Elizabeth Siddal. Also a highly accomplished costumer, she often puts her combined skills to good use by bringing beloved heroines to life for children at hospitals and charity events.
