Bio

Melissa is perimenopausal performer, yogi, and social justice activist. Her show Beastly is a love letter to women: the battles we've waged, the stories our bodies hold, the collective dreams we have the power to ignite. 

It asks us to reckon the possibility we all hold in our hands to create the world we seek -- wrapped up in a Vagina Monologues/Roald Dahl bow.

Audience reactions to Beastly have ranged from feeling "joyful and inspired" to "funny and hopeful." Slowmuse.com wrote “We came in as strangers, but left as a tribe."

When Melissa is not performing, she's a parent to two teens and a very loving labpit rescue.
