Nina centers on five young actresses in their final year of study who laugh and cry, fight and flirt, compete, plan and dream … until a shocking revelation forces them to confront the foundations of their bonds. As final performances of Chekhov’s The Seagull loom, themes of love, art, and unfulfilled potential echo onstage and off. Nina is a fast-paced, behind-the-scenes look at the always high-stakes, often ridiculous environment of actor training, illuminating the tensions, intimacy, and even cruelty that define the making of great art and the strongest of female friendships.
The cast of Nina includes Francesca Carpanini (Broadway’s All My Sons and The Little Foxes), Jasminn Johnson (Broadway’s Ain’t No Mo), Lortel recipient Aigner Mizzelle (Broadway’s Chicken & Biscuits, pray), Katherine Reis (Broadway’s Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Max’s Gossip Girl), and Nina Grollman (Broadway’s To Kill a Mockingbird and The Iceman Cometh).
