Nik Whitcomb holds a BA in theatre acting and directing from Creighton University. Born and raised in Omaha, Nik began his theatrical career at the age of six at the Omaha Theater Company for Young People (The Rose). Since his humble beginnings Nik has been active as a performer, director, educator, and theatrical administrator at The Rose as well as other companies in the Greater Omaha Area and New York City. Nik is currently based in Chicago, IL where he works as an actor, director, producer, casting director, and teaching artist.
At an early age it was clear that Nik had a future in the theatre. He grew up constantly singing around the house and in the church choir. As soon as the opportunity to take an acting class arose Nik ran for it and theatre became second nature. With a natural ear for music it did not take long for Nik to find his niche in musical theatre. While musical theatre is still at the heart of Nik's work, in recent years he has found ways to use his artistry to speak for the disenfranchised, bridge gaps of inequity, and break down barriers of accessibility. Nik hopes to use his skills to create a space for people of all backgrounds to share their stories and engage with one another in meaningful ways.
Nik is a Casting Associate with Paskal Rudnicke Casting, Inc. where he works on commercial, television, and film projects and serves as the Casting Associate for Northlight Theatre in Skokie, IL. Nik has also served as casting director for Pride Films & Plays, Organic Theater Company, and is the Associate Producer/Director of Casting at Haven Chicago.
