actress, singer, dancer
Nicole Marie first stepped foot on a theatre stage at six years old, and she's never gotten off since. She's been cast as singer, dancer, and/or actress in numerous musical theatre shows, including City of Angels (2016), Alice in Wonderland (2017), Cinderella (2019), The Nutcracker (2019), and The Addams Family (2020).
She has worked under renowned directors Renee Pfister and Edwin Cedeño, and studied with prominent figures in the field, like Ricky Pashkus, Fer Dente, Zenón Recalde, and Gaby Goldman. Nicole Marie continues her dance studies in Madrid's Escuela Mayor de Danza and Dance EsCool.
PLAYWRIGHT & DIRECTOR
Nicole Marie's debut as playwright and director came in 2018. "First Dates", a comedy that may or may not have been based on her failed attempts at dating in Los Angeles, premiered at the Hollywood Fringe Festival and immediately received raving reviews from audience and critics. It performed to a sold out theatre every night, and was awarded the "Hollywood Encore! Producers Award" during the Fringe Awards Ceremony. You can read audience reviews here.

July 2021 marked the premiere of her first Spanish language comedy. "Hay Gato Encerrado", one of five winners of the DECA International Playwriting Competition, performed under the show umbrella of "Ríete en Cuatro Tiempos" in Panama City's Teatro Pacific to impressive audience and critic reviews, earning a nomination for Panama's theatre awards "Premios Escena" in the "Best Original Play" and "Best Original Comedy" categories in May 2022.
DILLMAN, CON 'D'
For her thesis project as a finishing student in Escuela SUR's Master's in Fine Arts, Nicole Marie combined art history, fiction, and several creative disciplines to write the script of Dillman, con 'D', a play that brings the theatre to art institutions, in this case, Madrid's Círculo de Bellas Artes. For the support of her thesis, Nicole Marie guided the audience through a surreal visit to each floor of the iconic building, telling stories about how the Círculo de Bellas Artes holds secrets of Spanish monarchies, the art world's most prominent figures, the tragedies that took place there during the Spanish Civil War, and how her name ended up in the middle of the quintessential institution's history.
