From a young dreamer to a rising creative force, Meghan Rolle has earned a coveted spot at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in the UK, where she will study playwriting and continue to elevate Bahamian storytelling on the global stage.
Wallis Megan Rolle, affectionately known as Meghan, began her creative journey at just 12 years old when she joined the Bahamas Artist Movement (BAM) and declared her ambitions to become an actress, writer, director, and producer. Through years of dedication, she has transformed those dreams into reality.
At BAM, Meghan trained in acting, writing, directing, and producing. She worked alongside industry talents such as Danny Glover and Jeff Perry of ABC’s Scandal, and participated in an exchange program at The Studio School in Los Angeles, where she directed and produced her first short film. She also enhanced her craft through programs at Yale and Juilliard.
Meghan’s artistry was showcased at The Island House Film Festival, where she walked the red carpet, led BAM workshops, and represented Bahamian arts in media engagements.
After graduating high school, Meghan earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The New School in New York City, gaining professional experience as an actor, producer, and director. Her belief that “the sky is the only limit” has driven her forward.
Rowena Sutherland, founder of BAM and acting coach, has played a pivotal role in nurturing Meghan’s talent from the beginning. With decades of experience guiding Bahamian artists, Sutherland’s vision for BAM is to provide mentorship, training, and international opportunities that elevate local creatives to global stages.
She expressed immense pride in Meghan’s achievements: “From the moment Meghan walked into BAM at age 12, her vision was clear. She has worked tirelessly, with discipline, heart, and artistry. Her acceptance into RADA is not only a personal triumph but also a milestone for Bahamian arts and storytelling.”
