Melissa Manrique (she/her)

Melissa Manrique is a multidisciplinary artist who is a BFA Graduate of the Acting Program at the University of Central Florida. Previous theatre credits include Committed (Dr.), The Grumpiest Boy in the World (Giant/Bird) and Much Ado About Nothing (Ursula). She also directs. Previous directing credits include Apocalypseville!, Meat-Cute, T-19EC, and Of Hawks and Sparrows. Melissa has been on tour for the past year and half – either teaching kids about dinosaurs at Jurassic Quest or connecting with the trees in the new musical, “Tell Me How You Breathe,” produced by the Loom Ensemble. Right now, her feet landed her at The Rev based in Auburn, New York as a teaching artist and a touring actor. Virtually, Melissa is an admin assistant for the dance company, ANIMAL Dance – thankful to still have roots in beautiful Vermont. She will be enjoying her first ever winter in Upstate New York until her departure overseas as a Host for Royal Caribbean. Grateful to be able to do what she loves. She dedicates all that she does to her father, Luis Manrique.
