Marah Melvin-McFadden is a social media director, song and dance performer, and master of ceremonies for the national touring company Pin-Ups on Tour.
The company performs World War II USO-style variety and burlesque shows at venues nationwide. Pin-Ups on Tour supports hospitalized veterans as well as active duty military service members. Some of the proceeds from the shows go toward supporting Operation Welcome Home. The touring company has donated over $50,000 to non-profit veteran agencies.
Just before the touring company’s performance schedule was halted due to the pandemic, Pin-Ups on Tour performed in Morgantown, W.V. where Marah was Master of Ceremonies and was featured on the Channel 12 NBC Nightly News.
Prior to all of the cancellations, Marah has kept busy performing in shows at the Secret Room NYC on Times Square in New York City, singing with the Robert Rucker Project Band and performing a cabaret show at the West End Lounge in NYC.
She was recently asked to perform in a two-person tribute at Emporia State University honoring
teachers Jim Bartruff and his wife, Lindy, who are retiring as heads of the theatre and dance departments at ESU.
Marah is the daughter of Mick and Mona Melvin of Iola. She is married to Wesley McFadden. They make their home in New Brunswick, N.J.
