We are excited to announce Meghan Davis as the new drama director for the Canandaigua Academy Players. Mrs. Davis will lead the fall play and spring musical and is looking forward to this new challenge. 


A 2012 graduate of Canandaigua Academy, as a student she was in Les Miserables, All Shook Up, and Thoroughly Modern Millie. In 2021, Mrs. Davis helped with The SpongeBob Musical. She is a teacher’s aide at the Academy, and is currently studying to be a special education teacher through Empire State College.

“I never thought I would be back at Canandaigua and lead the Players after Mr. Scott Schauman’s retirement. He led the shows for thirty-two years and I am excited for this new challenge. I am looking forward to collaborating with many people at the Academy to make the show a community effort and I look forward to working closely with our talented students,” Mrs. Davis stated.


Academy Principal, Marissa Logue, echoed the excitement and is looking forward to working with Mrs. Davis in her new role.
