Nick Narcisi
He wrote it. He's onstage too.
Nick Narcisi was an actor before the pandemic. Now he works at a cancer research laboratory. (He is as surprised with that career pivot as you are.) He was really good at telling other people's stories, but only recently started telling his own. Some of his favorite credits include: Romeo in Romeo and Juliet (Arkansas Shakespeare Theater), Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire (Tennessee Williams Festival of St. Louis), Ethan in Sex with Strangers (Renaissance Theaterworks), A. of Syracuse in Comedy of Errors (Montana Shakespeare in the Parks), and Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (Macklanburg Playhouse). He has also worked with the Milwaukee Rep, the Great River Shakespeare Festival, Third Avenue Playworks, and the Children's Theater of Madison. Nick is a Moth StorySlam winner and has worked with a variety of other storytelling shows in Chicago and Milwaukee.
