Melissa House

Mel House is a queer New York City based actress, comedian, voice teacher and the writer/creator behind HOT ANGRY MOM—a feminist punk rock comedy about female rage, which unpacks anger myths and invites audiences to consider the ways that healthy anger makes us more authentic and whole (a 2019 finalist for Sundance’s New Voice’s Lab - @hotangrymom). Recently she played Leah Wilson on FBI:Most Wanted, Judy in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime, and toured internationally in Rome, Cagliari, Belgrade, Dublin, and NYC with The Baby Monitor--a new play about same-sex parenting. She has played iconic roles from Shakespeare to Ibsen, working Off-Broadway, regionally, and internationally, as well as originating roles for the web, film, and TV. Mel is obsessed with anger and channeling her own for the greater good, so she tells stories, makes jokes, and takes on projects that highlight queer and female stories, while promoting conversations around gender, power and sexuality. She is a proud member of the Actors Center Company, NYWIFT, VASTA, SAG/AFTRA, AEA, and a Certified Teacher of Fitzmaurice Voicework®. More at www.melhouse.com.
