“Person of Interest”, is a topical tale, about a good, law-abiding citizen like me who hoped to volunteer and so applied for a police background check. It was at that point when I discovered I was a Person of Interest…courtesy of some bad neighbours next door. It was their final act of retaliation.
Debuting in 2018, Person of Interest has been delighting audiences across the country. Those who enjoy the wave of stand-alone storytelling like CBC’s Vinyl Café, and National Public Radio’s The Moth podcasts, will crave this yarn spinning, edgy, comic tale.
From our tours…
“Melody A. Johnson is a unique talent, a slyly hilarious performer, and a very likeable presence on stage without ever seeming anything less than genuine. She is also a wonderful person to work with and always provides an evening of thoughtful and funny entertainment.”
-David Mann, Evergreen Cultural Centre, Coquitlam B.C.
“Melody tells the story so beautifully that there are moments when she has the audience completely on her side even while in the same breath, we're questioning her sanity. Person of Interest is equally charming and entertaining. It was a pleasure to have Melody in our theatre.”
- Danny Harvey, The Rose Theatre, Brampton, Ont.
