In this episode, Producing Artistic Director Scott Palmer talks with Melory Mirashrafi. Melory is a dramaturg, actor, and director from Hillsboro, Oregon. This year, after an internship with the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco, Melory moved to Boston to work as the Huntington Theatre Company's 2019-2020 Literary Apprentice, where she is also a dramaturg for Speakeasy Stage's "The Boston Project" on J. Sebastián Alberdi's new play VIEJITX. In Oregon, Melory has worked recently as a dramaturg and cultural consultant for Octavio Solis on Mary Zimmerman's THE ARABIAN NIGHTS at Southern Oregon University, directed THE LITTLE PRINCE with Opera Theater Oregon in downtown Portland, and performed as Veronica in HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL at the Funhouse Lounge and in Heather Raffo's one-woman show, NINE PARTS OF DESIRE at Linfield College. Melory’s writing has been featured in Oregon Artswatch, Public Books, and at the ATHE 2019 National Conference.
