Born in the Downriver suburbs of Detroit, actress and singer Valerie Meachum grew up an Air Force brat, logging fifteen addresses by age twelve. She taught herself to read at three and was identified early as an academically gifted child. Dance, music and drama presented the challenges missing in her regular schoolwork, and by her teens she was determined to pursue a performing career. She made her professional theatre debut as Sarah in Female Transport during a semester break from college, and has pursued her dream through all the ups and downs since.
She made her movie debut as the heroic Dr. Tami Bark in the Japanese-style monster feature Raki II: Raki vs. Nemesis, which has been featured at G-Fest, the leading American festival celebrating the kaijugenre. Recently she has kept busy in front of the camera with a variety of roles for up-and-coming Chicago filmmakers, and is looking forward to the release of the thriller feature Cyrus: Mind of a Serial Killer, in which she is featured alongside Patricia Belcher.
Valerie's stage career has ranged from children's theatre to Shakespeare to musicals to new plays, both acting and behind the scenes as a director, costume designer and fight choreographer. Currently she's in rehearsals for A Midsummer Night's Dream with the brand-new Storefront Shakespeare, as the fairy queen Titania. Check out www.storefrontshakespeare.com for details!
