Melany was bitten by the acting bug at a young age, regularly performing scenes from her favourite movies for her parents.

In high school she played a witch with a shoe-fetish in a comedy loosely based on Little Red Riding Hood, but more thrilling than this was playing a high-flying Wall Street snob for her HSC in a play she wrote with her classmates.

Most recently, equipped with a very shaky Germany accent, she played Hitler’s soldier in a community theatre production of ‘Allo ‘Allo!

Melany is excited to once again revel in the adrenalin rush that is live theatre in her first performance with Liverpool Performing Arts Ensemble.
