Primary Line-up shows were performed both outdoor and via live stream. Additionally, she wrote the COVID-19 protocols for this year's Fringe, pulling from multiple sources (AEA, CDC, city and state guidelines) in order to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

2020
In planning for the 2020 Cincy Fringe, Meghan was selected as Associate Production Manager for the upcoming festival. One of her primary responsibilities was hiring Venue Technicians, working with the Technical Director to do so. After COVID-19 hit and it was determined the festival would not take place in person, Meghan managed the process of terminating the contracts of the Venue Technicians.
Meghan pivoted quickly to become the Broadcast Producer for the all-digital Fringe. This included working closely with the Broadcast Director and Graphics Designer in a TV studio built on the Mainstage space. Adding further complexity, mid-festival, all the TV studio equipment was moved to an offsite location, under Meghan's supervision.
