James E. Nicholson has loved the theater most of his life, having a personality that has plunged him in the spotlight from an early age! First performing in grade-school in Hansel & Gretel as the lead gingerbread man (he was the only boy who could skip), he continued a stage presence throughout college, but had to take time away from the theatre due to a demanding work schedule. Later in life the theater bug was reborn. James has performed in numerous productions over the years, including "A Midsummer Night’s Dream," "Elephant’s Graveyard," and "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Moving behind the curtain, he directed "Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" and "Leading Ladies." James has previously served on the Board of Governors for Texas Nonprofit Theatres. When he and his husband, Jon, retired to Lafayette, he volunteered to help work on "The Sound of Music" and he immediately found a wonderful venue to design sets for and a host of good friends to enjoy live theater with.
