Melissa has been a lover of stationery and stickers ever since she was a little kid. After writing the word "Rehearsal" in her planner too many times, she started to hunt for theatre stickers. Finding none on the market, she bought a silhouette cutter and made one herself! And so, An Actor Plans was born. 

Melissa has been described as a renaissance woman in the professional theatre world, and has worn many hats on and off the stage; besides her years of performing across Chicagoland, Melissa’s skills range from directing children, youth, and professionals, to designing sets, lights, and costumes. If there’s a theatrical crisis, you’ll probably find Melissa stepping in and saving the day.
