"One performer was so stunning that not to mention her would be a grave oversight. Grace Melon in the part of young Hillary Kelly, not only brought a welcome shot of positive energy to the play, but her curly red hair, perfect Irish accent, giggly dialogue reading and amazing facility to perform what was in essence a solo turn, makes her someone to watch. Only a high school sophomore according to her bio, she is already a seasoned stage veteran. I look forward to seeing her again."-Gail Glaiser of The Examiner on her role as Hilary in MOMENT.
