Our Directors - Nick Mann

Nick Mann
North Texas Performing Arts and Frisco Youth Theatre Director
B.A. University of North Texas


Nick grew up in both the towns of Bowie, TX and Carlsbad, NM and is the oldest of four children. Even as a child, Nick was always interested in drama. He recalls the very first musical he created with stuffed animals and a tape recorder when he was in the 4th Grade! Nick graduated from the University of North Texas earning a B.A. in Theatre Performance and Education. His advanced training includes Song Interpretation with Tony Award-Winning Actress Betty Buckley, Meisner Acting Technique with Terry Martin and Improv and Sketch Comedy at The Second City Training Center.
Nick is also a Stand-Up Comedian and playwright. His play, Baby of Mine, was a semifinalist for the 2012 Eugene O’Neill National Playwrights Conference. His favorite playwrights are Tennessee Williams, Eugene O’Neill and Terrence McNally. Nick’s special talent is that he can name all the winners of every Academy Award in the Picture and Acting category (Hopefully that means he will win one)!

  1. Mr. Nick is awesome! He makes each production fun for every kid. He makes every actor shine, no matter what their part. I can't say enough good things.
