Now-a-Days Photos - Broadway

Megan Ita O’Rourke is an actor-writer with a gift for creating stories that share a positive light on vulnerability. During a raw time in her life, after the passing of her father, O’Rourke wrote a poem full of inner thoughts and openness. That very same poem would transform beautifully into her debut play. After an incredible run at The Cockpit last year, 384 Days is back for a limited two-night run at The Pleasance Theatre this month. BroadwayWorld sat down with O’Rourke to gain an insight into the world of her play and hear all about her passion.
