Melissa just concluded two consecutive runs on The Second City Main Stage; Salt, Pepper Ketchup & Everything Festive All At Once.

Next, she is playing Lars in Boy Band The Musical debuting at Green Room 42 this March!

She also directs a recurring sketch comedy show called Under 5: The Unexplored Lives of Tiny Characters, that takes actors’ tiny costar roles (Under 5’s) in tv and makes them the star of their own sketch show. There’s more to life than exposition!

She’s also currently trying to become the next Henry David Thoreau Impersonator at Walden Pond. You can watch her bid on Instagram or TikTok.

Just Lie, a short film that she co-produced and devised with her husband, filmmaker Jack Frederick, has begun it’s festival run.

She also recently directed her first short film! More on that soon.
