The Charlebois Post

Ontario Arts Review

The Menachmus Twins

“Melee Hutton’s gleeful, brazen production is early, short, hilarious and pwyc- the best theatrical deal in town.”
The National Post

 

Miss Julie

"I have seen Miss Julie done by the top classical companies in Britain and Canada. None of them held my attention as this one did."
The National Post

This One

“Director Melee Hutton has done a magnificent job.”
London Free Press

Hedda Gabler

“Melee Hutton has taken the original and created an inspired rendering. This is a virtuosic and motivated regeneration of a classic.”
Ontario Arts Review

  • "I have never felt so free, so exhilarated, so challenged and so fantastically exhausted as when being directed by the incredible Melee Hutton. A brave and bold director, she pushes me beyond the limits of what I think I can do. She is smart, sensitive and frighteningly intuitive. In terms of an 'actor's director' no-one else comes close."

    Christine Horne

    Dora nomination Outstanding Performance 'Miss Julie:Sheh'mah'

  • "I adore Melee! I have worked with her on some big auditions and I booked the majority of them. She has a keen eye and is able to get you so specific in your choices. Thanks to her help, I've booked a few great roles this year."
