Melisa Pereyra (she/her) is an Argentinian actress, writer, theatre director, and educator. She has spent time at Boston University’s College of Fine Arts as assistant professor of acting and is a core company actor at American Players Theatre in Spring Green, Wisconsin. She believes that the future of theatre will be changed by community building and organizations like HowlRound building bridges across cultures. In Melisa’s own words, “Keep building and writing until the voices on the outskirts of our theatrical platforms are centered. And then, beyond. Let us overcome the tradition of silence and make the future in our dreams, our reality. ¡Juntos lo logramos! ¡Ponete las pilas!”
