“A FIVE STAR SHOW EVERY TIME”
A PEEK
BEHIND THE CURTAIN
Melonlight Founders, Raymond and Emily Ulibarri have been creating entertainment for the stage together for over 24 years. It was on the dance floor that they fell in love, and on a dream that they created Melonlight.
The performance company began in Denver, Colorado in 2010, but found it's true home in 2014 at the now Melonlight Theater in downtown Eureka Springs.
The writing/producing/performing couple defined their artistic voices in the white - possibly haunted - walls of their unique historic space, where the professional company both rehearses and performs.
Raymond and Emily have always had a soft spot for the suspense genre. Many of their original plays feature paranormal or psychological themes, making the experience for the audience a hang-on-to-your-seat adventure.
Because the two are a real life couple, their shows often feature love stories and romantic dance moments, given their deep roots and experience in ballroom dancing.
Each of their unique and immersive productions are designed with the utmost attention to detail, unbelievable passion and professionalism, and well thought out nuances that will leave you dying to see the the same show again.
