Hi! My name is Melissa

and I am a theatre maker.

​

I work in many sides of the theatre, but I specialize in directing and teaching/coaching.

​

In my personal life, I am married to my high school sweetheart, Matt, and together we have two amazing boys and a third on the way! Most of all, I am thankful for my relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ. I find no greater joy than exploring the intersection of faith and art.  

​

My favorite things to do in my spare time are eat (I must admit that I have a terrible sweet-tooth), travel, play at Disneyland, and spend time with family.

​

Professionally, I especially love to partner with other theatre makers to help bring original, new works or re-imagined classics to the stage. I also love helping artists of all ages and levels hone their craft, discover sides of themselves that they never knew, and fall in love with the theatre

for the first time (or all over again!)
