Melissa Ohlman-Roberge

Creative Instigator / Theater Artist / Educator / Actress / Singer

Melissa calls herself a “creative instigator” who thrives on the energy of the creative process as it unfolds in real time. She has worked as a theater artist and educator for more than 30 years having started as an actress/singer, but landing in directing. She has created over 100 productions from Connecticut to North Carolina for professional, community, and educational organizations. In addition, Melissa is a visual artist focusing on mixed media collage and printing. Lately, she has been framing her creative projects, initiatives and collaborations under the umbrella MORcreates. Based in North Carolina, Melissa’s goal is to use community, conversation and connection to help people understand and define creativity on their own terms! Current projects include The Virtual Postcard Party, Creativity U and Purple Sage Marketplace (where she sells her unique brand of inspirational Art Blocks.)

Melissa is mom to 3 daughters, ages 29, 26 and 24 as well as their dog, Zoe, and is partner to husband Kevin, who dabbles on the stage when not running his staffing business.
