Annie Meek Montgomery has worn many hats as an artist - actor, director, writer, teaching artist and director of education for a National Arts Service Organization.

​

30+ years of working in the arts began as an acting major at Boston University's College for the Arts.  After college, she quickly began booking work in children's theatre tours and small productions around New York City.  Eventually as her experience grew she landed leading lady roles in regional theaters including Anne in Man and Superman and Harper in Angels in America at the Hangar Theatre, directed by Bob Moss, and culminated with the off-Broadway three month run playing the lead role of Lisa in That Ilk at the Hudson Guild Theatre. 

​

Simultaneously, Annie began working as a teaching artist.  Over the years, she has taught for a variety of cultural organizations including (Out)Laws & Justice, Creative Theatrics in Brooklyn, the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Public Library, the New Rochelle Library, Disney Theatrical Productions and The New Victory Theatre.  Eventually, her experience led to more than 14 years at the National Arts Service Organization -  Lifetime Arts - serving as Director of Education until 2022. She still works for the organization as a part time Teaching Artist Trainer and is also a part time faculty member at the New School teaching the full year required course, Collaborative Research Studio: The Teaching Artist. 

​

Along the way, Annie has continued making theatre as an actor, director and playwright.  She wrote, collaboratively devised, directed, and acted in a production of The Red Dress which was produced at University Settlement and the San Clemente Soto Velez Cultural and Educational Center. She performed to several sold out audiences in the one woman show Walking Toward America at the United Solo Festival and at the Springfield Contemporary Theatre. She performed in the immersive production of All American Boys by Off the Page Theatre Company and performed in a radio play of the same production at WNYC's The Green Space. She is a longtime collaborator with Brooklyn’s Piper Theatre Company and has helped to develop dozens of original shows participating in countless readings as an actor. Piper also chose Annie’s play, Memory’s Kiss, to be in their playwright development Spotlight series culminating in a staged reading with a full cast and musicians.  She is also part of their International touring company. She played Leah in Splitfoot which performed to rave reviews at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and East of Edinburgh Festival in New York City. She was Edith in The Lincoln Dress performing in Bucharest, Romania with Un Teatru Theatre Company, and in Suceava, Romania at the State Theatre, Teatrul Municipal Matei Visniec. She played the mother in La Mere Sauvage which was performed in Malta as part of an arts residency with Malta College of Arts and Science where the company also taught workshops in physical theatre. Finally, she played the lead role of Bette Davis in the Bloody Ballad of Bette Davis at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024, and will be returning to the Fringe in 2026 in a new version of the play. 

​

In 2021, she wrote, produced and starred in the short film, Zoom with Me, that was accepted at 20+ international film festivals. This project inspired Annie to begin auditioning again for film, tv, and commercial projects starting in 2023.  Since that time, she has steadily been building her experience.  She has appeared in several vertical features, short films, commercials and TV shows. She also completed filming the soon to be released independent feature, Ugly Ducklings, playing the lead role of Kathleen.  ​

Annie is the proud mom to three grown children and lives in Brooklyn, New York.
