My Background
Nicole Gabriella Scipione was born the middle child in a gaggle of 5 children to her minister Father George Charles Scipione, & educator/counselor Mother Eileen Cheryl Scipione & got to live on a manse in New Jersey, where they house ministerial families. Then her Father felt called to Southern California (who wouldn't?) & in elementary school, theatre marched into Nicole's life with her first play, Sleeping Beauty, where she found the coke coating the stage to keep everyone from slipping, was very sticky while they were 'asleep' upon it under the witch's spell. Perhaps so sticky the stage has never let her go: she was home.
Nicole's first big role as a teenager was Cinderella in Rogers and Hammerstein's Cinderella directed by Sydney Forest; she continued getting her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre from UC Santa Barbara, where she created a one woman show loosely based on Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar. Nicole moved to Los Angeles & began working in TV/Film, including John Larroquette's McBride: Dogged, Justine Bateman's Violet starring Olivia Munn & a lifeguard who fails to save Daryl Hannah from sharks in Shark Swarm. She's gone on to play memorable roles in regional theatre including Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize winner Disgraced at PlayMakers Repertory Company, Jenny in The Tony award nominated Lucas Hnath's The Christians at Actors Co-op (Stage Scene LA Winner, Outstanding Performance by A Featured Actress in a Drama), Ruth Bader GetsIt in For The Love Of (or the roller derby play) at The Kirk Douglas Theatre, Abigail in The Crucible (Stage Scene LA Winner, tied with Alicia Silverstone in Time Stands Still for Best Performance by a Featured Actress, Drama), & with comedic luminaries Culture Clash in AmeriCCa at South Coast Repertory, & Seema Sueko at The Pasadena Playhouse.
Also an ardent screenwriter, playwright, producer, & poet, Nicole's short Song in a Convenience Store, directed by Silas Weir Mitchell, made the festival circuit, winning 3rd place Short Narrative in the Academy Award qualifying Athens International Film Festival & she has optioned & adapted X.J.

“Nicole Gabriella Scipione was excellent as Emily, happily paddling on the surface of her easy beliefs, until she was sucked under in their riptide.”
~ CLASSICAL VOICE OF NORTH CAROLINA (CVNC.org), Ayad Akhtar's Pulitzer Prize winning Disgraced
"Add to that...a devastating featured turn by Scipione as a young woman facing her own crisis of faith...and you've got another Actors Co-op must see." ~ STAGE SCENE LA, Lucas Hnath's Obie Award Winning The Christians

Nicole can be found treasuring time with family & friends, speaking in myriad dialects with aplomb, dancing Cumbia, African & Bollywood in arguably awkward places, playing her guitar, working to create a more just & loving world, while inhaling the scent of honeysuckle & jasmine for scandalous amounts of time.
