FROM THE DIRECTORS

She has acted, written and directed for the stage for the past 20 years.

Mrs. Melendez believes that the youth of today are the thought leaders of tomorrow and this comes through in her teaching.

Michael was born in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. His love for the stage began at the age of 4 with Mrs. Melendez’s first production ever, Pinocchio. Once he moved to the USA in 2014, he joined the North Carolina Theatre Conservatory where he would continue to further harness his acting, singing, and dancing. He now attends Elon University with a Drama and Theatre studies major. His philosophy is helping the future leaders of this world grow into kind, humble, confident adults while nurturing their incredible talents and is based on inclusivity, positive reinforcement, the value of community and respect for one another.
