Melissa Brown

Melissa teaches group classes and private lessons in NYC, including an ongoing weekly series at the Manhattan JCC. She is on the faculty at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and works with actors regularly in various other venues, including Seton Hall University and the Actors Connection.

Given her advocacy background, it has been very important to her to be able to continue to work with people from underserved communities.
