ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Sophie Nicholson, an actor with a heart for puppetry, producing, and performance!

Watch some of my work below!

Since graduating Cum Laude with a BFA in Acting from Penn State, I’ve explored a wide range of disciplines including Children’s Media, theatre education, and film!

When I’m not creating my original puppet characters, messing with video editing, or hiking the Appalachian Trail, I’m reading a good book with my cat!

Some of my recent projects include…

Assistant Director, The Playhouse ~ By Kristen Doherty ~ York Country Day School, May 2025
