Melanie Gendreau, Elementary Production Director
After performing in her first musical at age 10, Melanie was bitten by the acting bug. Since then, she has performed in community and professional theaters including Ocean State Theater Company’s production of Les Miserables (Ensemble/Eponine u/s). Other favorite stage roles include Maureen in RENT, Val in A Chorus Line, and Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar. Melanie also works as a freelance actress for commercials, corporate videos, voice over and film. When not performing, Melanie serves as the Marketing Executive for The Very Merry Dickens Carolers and Artistic Director of Casting Call Kids – a musical theater program for elementary and middle school students. As a freelance teaching artist, she is thrilled to join the TYT family to share her love of performing with these young actors. Though her favorite role, by far, is mom to her two children!
