Meet the team of MOBY DICK! THE MUSICAL - Shannon Melick (Set/Props Design)

Scenic designer / Chicago import / MSU grad / Loves cats and lazy Sundays

Get to know Shannon!

TCTP: What was your favorite show you were a part of in high school?

SM: Didn’t start theatre until I was in college.

TCTP: Have you actually read Moby Dick?

SM: Maybe? I might have in high school but I can’t remember

TCTP: What is a piece of classical literature you would love to see turned into a musical?

SM: I think Wuthering Heights would be a great candidate for a rock musical, American Idiot style

TCTP: Do you have a personal white whale? What is it? (Interpret how you wish.)

SM: Anxiety, depression, the usual millennial bullshit.

TCTP: What’s the most thrown together show you’ve ever done?

SM: Tough question, I’ve worked on some messy shows, but I think it would probably have to be A Streetcar Named Desire while I was still at MSU.
