Nicki Davis began her theatrical career, as a Dodo bird at the MAC in 1994. She spent 10 years on stage in Morgantown. Her most memorable roles are The Woman Who Liked to Make Vaginas Happy in the "Vagina Monologues," Sybil in "Private Lives," Madame de Rosemonde in a college production of "Les Liasons Dangerueses" and a turn as Yente in a children’s production of "Fiddler on the Roof." She spent the last ten years out West and shaped her director’s perspective with shows like "The Mousetrap," "Hair," "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "On Golden Pond." She is looking forward to bringing other productions to life in the future. Currently Nicki is simultaneously preparing to appear in "The Man from Earth" as Edith and in "Stupid F***ing Bird" as Dev because she may have a bit of a theatrical problem and because her family is understanding and remarkably supportive. She is quite literally glowing with joy to be home and back on stage in Morgantown.
