Danielle Nicole

Danielle is very excited to be re-joining her Beaver sisters for some more laughs and tears in this hilarious remount. You’ll also see her later in the season in The Perils of Persephone. Some favourite shows: Moose on the Loose (Magnus), Sexy Laundry (PSFT), Into the Woods (Capitol Repertory Players), The Vagina Monologues (Stage West). When she isn’t acting she is an administrative assistant for Bhatia Music, a communications coach, and also works in experiential learning in the fields of medicine, law, social work, management, as well as the pharmaceutical industry. Much love always to her very supportive family, especially Amin and mom. This show’s for you, Simon. xo
