DRAMATURG
Nick is currently working on two projects: a new musical in development at UNC Charlotte about the 1929 Loray Mill strike, and a presentation on mid-century American opera for The Douglas Moore Fund.
Nick has worked in dramaturgy and supertitles for The Glimmerglass Festival since 2019. He designed the titles for the world premieres of The Rip Van Winkles (Ben Moore/Laura Fuentes) in 2023 and The Jungle Book (Kamala Sankaram/Kelley Rourke) in 2022. He continues to write content for their publications.
In 2019, Nick translated the libretto and designed the supertitles for Daniel Catán’s Il Postino, a co-production between Virginia Opera, Opera Southwest, and Chicago Opera Theatre. These titles were also seen at Opera Santa Barbara. Nick also designed and operated the titles for Virginia Opera’s 2019 production of Tosca (Puccini/Illica & Giacosa).
At FSU he served as production dramaturg for A New Brain (William Finn/James Lapine), A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (Peter Nichols), and a devised piece based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

His case study on Channing Tatum’s performance on the popular American TV show Lip Sync Battle appears in the 1st edition of Routledge’s Dance in US Popular Culture (2023), edited by Jennifer Atkins.
Nick’s writings have appeared in Southern Theatre magazine and in multiple publications by The Glimmerglass Festival.
He has presented original scholarship at Song, Stage & Screen; Mid-America Theatre Conference; and Southeastern Theatre Conference, who named Nick their Undergraduate Young Scholar in 2016.
