Nicole joined the effervescent and hilarious Chicago dell’Arte team after playing Margaret in 2010’s Much Ado About Nothing.  She’s originally from Skokie, IL, which a high school salutatorian once dubbed “A City of Dreams”.  Though Skokie is actually a village, Nicole can’t argue with the “of dreams” part since she has many.  Nicole has already achieved some of her dreams:  marrying Henry VIII (as Kathryn Howard in Six Dead Queens and an Inflatable Henry!), being part of a legend (as Scarlet in Robin Hood), and having magical powers (as Zabrina in The Creator).  When she’s not acting, you can find her reading as much scifi/fantasy as she can get her hands on, showing off her sexy burlesque moves, and watching SVU marathons.  She is also an Artistic Associate with Piccolo Theatre in Evanston, IL and a graduate of Northwestern University.  Many thanks to her family, friends, and the irreplaceable DK for all their love, laughter, and enduring support.
