Mary Beth’s Sex Tape (2017)
Written and Directed by Megan Patsel
Mary Beth is a hard-working comedian with little notoriety to show for it. At this point, she’s willing to leak her own sex tape in order to get famous. With the help of her well-intentioned but misguided agent Smith (Michael Cruz Kayne), Mary Beth hires a provocative sex writer (Tea Hacic) and an enthusiastic but incompetent student director (Megan Patsel). Together, they set out to script, cast, and film the world’s first ever stand-up comedy sex tape.

Trey the Play (2019 )
A jukebox musical by Megan Patsel, based on the music from the 2007 album, “Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus.”
Trey the Play takes place in a time, at a school. Vague? You’ll get used to it-- this school isn’t like other schools! This school has a formal ban on drama, forbidding all students from any sort of juicy gossip, romance, or bickering that they'd like to participate in.
