Adriana Sevahn Nichols, a native New Yorker, is an award-winning actress and playwright. Her play Night over Erzinga was nominated for the William Saroyan Prize for Playwriting in 2012. Her tour de force solo performance piece, Taking Flight, has been thrilling audiences across the country since opening in Los Angeles in 2006. One of Sevahn Nichols’ biggest passions is bringing theater and young people together to give them the opportunity to unleash and express their full creative potential. She has taught workshops nationally and internationally—most recently at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, CalArts, and the Orran center for at-risk youth in Yerevan, Armenia—and continues to lead transformational workshops for teenage girls living in group homes in Los Angeles. |
