About the Show
Eli and Ryan didn't plan on falling for each other. They just got cast in their professor's play. But as rehearsals deepen, so does everything between them, and the script they're learning starts to feel a little too familiar. Because Finch, the man directing them, wrote it about a love story he never got to finish.
Big, messy, and unapologetically cinematic, MELT is the college romance you wish you'd had: a two-act play with original songs about first love, second chances, and what happens when the story you're telling starts telling you.
Following a sold-out workshop run in June, MELT returns for six performances only.
