|
Nicki Rupe (Assistant Director) On Golden Pond is the second ACT II Theater production for Nicki as Assistant Director since her arrival from California last March. Her love of theater production oftentimes put her behind the scenes, but her favorite roles were in Kismet, Stage Door, South Pacific and I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change. Some day she would like to have a "truly juicy dramatic bit" to round out her onstage experience. Nicki gives thanks to Karen Burton for her friendship and brilliant directorial tutelage. Special warm thanks also go to family and friends for their love and encouragement, and to her sweetie, Timothy Scott Keen, for his unconditional enthusiasm and support.
