Nick is a playwright and actor currently located in Brooklyn, NY. At nine years old, Nick began performing in musicals with Dee-Lightful Productions, a local musical theatre program for kids in Culver City, CA. Throughout their pre-college years, Nick continued performing in musicals and plays alike, and eventually graduated with a B.A in Theatre and Community from UC Santa Barbara, studying two years in the Department of Theatre and Dance BFA program. After graduating in 2020, Nick continued to act with Skypilot Theatre Company in Los Angeles before moving to Brooklyn.

Nick’s last year in Santa Barbara was devoted primarily to playwriting and the development of new work. Post university life allowed for freedom of artistic expression and a cornucopia of creative opportunity. Four original plays have been produced over the course of the past five years. One such project was a one woman show, "Anna" produced in Whitefire Theatre's 2023 Solo Festival and selected for an encore performance in their "Best of Fest" remounts. Nick was presented with the opportunity to take the show to New York for United Solo 2023 soon after where Anna made its east coast debut to a sold out audience. Nick moved to Brooklyn that same year to continue pursuing their passion for playwriting in New York City.

PROJECTS
AT A GLANCE

"Anna"
A Story of mental health, healing, and resilience.
"Nick Freedson’s writing of this deeply moving and heartrending story is utterly beautiful in a poetic, funny, serious, and at times difficult-to-watch way. But he holds onto the difficult only for the briefest of moments. There’s enough humor and space in the play to make the darkness more than bearable." -Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros (Nohoarts District)
