The Continuing Artistic Journey: Melissa shares her experience of pursuing a theater career, becoming a mother, and her continuing passion to assist the artistic community | 46

Join us today as we speak with Melissa about her theatrical career, her times spent in the depth of “Head Trash” (More in the episode on that!), and her inspiring and amazing plan to continue to make sure Art is seen as legitimate and needed work. Smartistry: smartistry.orgMelissa's website: melissapeck.comEditorial note: Sad Times is committed to sharing various stories from generous guests.
