STAV MEISHAR

Picture
a performer artist who bends and blends the limits of theater, music and circus; a true renaissance woman, Stav is determined to leave no performance skill unexplored.

Born and raised in Israel, Stav had her professional stage debut at the age of 10 on the Israeli National Tour of “Oliver!”, and hasn't left the stage since.
Stav is a graduate of Israel’s prestigious performing arts high school “Thelma-Yellin”, where she graduated cum laude as a theater major, with leading roles in all productions. During her high school years she won the International French Chansons Competition – twice! – which sent her to study for two summers in the French countryside; and participated in the run of “The Rocky Horror Show” as both Janet and Magenta.
After playing Elphaba in the Israeli premiere of the musical “Wicked” Stav moved to NYC to pursue her Musical Theatre education. Her first job upon graduation was with the Yiddish Theater Folksbiene and she hasn't stopped performing since - all over American and oversees.
Though Stav's a traditional Thespian by training, she's been experimenting with different performance skills including ukulele playing, circus arts and poi spinning. She has created a one woman act - the dUKEss of Rock - that combines the beautiful language of Shakespeare with popular songs on the ukulele and performs with it at various events.
In 2012 Stav founded Petite Mort Productions, an alternative performance company with a priority commitment to help develop original works of theater, music, dance, circus, poetry, puppetry, film and more. A home for the outsiders and the misfits, the company was created to provide an outlet for artists of every discipline whose works are innovative, unique and perhaps a bit strange.
When Stav isn't performing she teaches and educates children of all ages all around the Tri-State area under the umbrella of Dreamcoat Experience.
Her mission in life: Spread love and glitter everywhere.
