Biographical Note

Meridee Stein was the founder, producer and artistic director of the First All Children's Theatre (First ACT), a non-profit children's repertory company based in New York City. The company, originally known as The Meri Mini Players, was founded in 1969 and performed adapted and original works until Meridee's resignation in 1985. Many First ACT productions appeared nationally, including two television adaptations.

In 1986, Meridee Stein was involved in the Japanese/Chinese/American Children's Theatre Festival, a project that involved young performers from Japan, China and the United States collaborating on a joint performance of Nightingale in Tokyo, Japan. Stein was also involved in several productions in 1995, including adaptating the production of Alice Through the Looking Glass for the Stage Door Players, and as co-writer of the production of Professor Prattle's Tales of Wonder at the Center for Puppetry Arts.

Meridee Stein began to develop one of First ACT's original productions, The Trip, for commercial production in 2000. The Trip, based on the picture book by Ezra Jack Keats, was expanded into the musical Captain Louie and premiered Off-Broadway in 2005. Stein served as producer and director of the production's premiere, as well as its subsequent performances and national tour in 2006-2007.

As of 2016, Meridee Stein remained active in professional theatre activities.
