is making her debut in community theatre with Plaza Theatre Co. She is the youngest member of the Knight Family Singers. As her father volunteered seven years in disaster relief efforts, she learned the joy of singing along the way to encourage others. With most siblings now in college or married, Melody is thrilled with friendships she is building with all ages in the cast. She is grateful for the Barruses and Julianna Keller sharing expertise, inspiration, and love. Melody is an award winning piano student of Maureda Travis and the youngest harp student of her sister, Anna Joy Knight. Melody also loves horses, otters, her dog, Latte, reading, swimming, cooking and designing paper dolls. Melody puts her faith in Christ Jesus alone. She wants to follow her father’s example of glorifying God by serving others joyfully, even in troubling times. “Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the support and allowing me to have a part telling this wonderful story!”
