Mel Glickman (Commander Shepard) is a newbie to the LA theatre scene but is no stranger to combat: They have been training in, performing, teaching, and choreographing stage combat in NYC and Baltimore, MD since 2010. They are also a founding member of Fight Theatre, a New York-based stage combat performance company, and acted as a performer and director from 2010-2013. Mel is a graduate of New York University, with a BFA in Drama from the Experimental Theatre Wing and a BA in Mathematics. (Sadly, they are painfully inept at playing video games, but would love to be your friend so long as you’re willing to overlook that character flaw.)
