The actress, who was axed from the BBC soap in May for her "unruly" behaviour, will play Sheila in Olly's Prison, according to PA.
The play is running at the Cock Tavern theatre in Kilburn, London as part of a series of Edward Bond plays.
Speaking when she was axed from EastEnders, a source told the Daily Star Sunday: "The way she's been behaving out of work over the last few months is not acceptable. Melissa is 17 and wants to go out, have fun and do what she likes. But that kind of behaviour doesn't work when you're on a show like EastEnders."
