Laura Nicholas (Director) was raised in Philadelphia, but moved south over a decade ago and decided to stay. She holds a B.A. and an M.A. in Theatre Arts and an M.F.A. in Directing from Baylor University. While pursuing her M.F.A., Laura not only directed, designed, and taught at Baylor University, but traveled all over the nation presenting her work at nationally recognized theatre conferences, traveling even to Bangalore, India to serve as a teaching artist at Christ University. She is delighted to return to Centre Stage after having earned her degree to again be part of such a thriving arts community! Favorite Centre Stage credits include A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (SM), Next to Normal (AD/SM), Freud’s Last Session (Director), Capture Now (Director), Noises Off (Director), Eleemosynary (Director/Set Designer), and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Director/Set Designer).
