Mr. Nick<\/span><\/h2>\n

Drama Teacher<\/span><\/h3>\n

Nick’s interest in drama happened in his first year of highschool. He instantly fell in love with anything related with it. Starting from stage production his first year, he was encouraged to start doing pantomime due to his very expressive attitude and goofy cartoony nature. For the rest of highschool, Nick committed himself fully to drama. He was engaging in shows, competitions, school news, events, and many more.<\/span>
<\/span>
After graduating, Nick had a whole in his chest, missing the excitements of drama. That’s when Drama Kids fell into his life. Finally, he gets another chance to participate in theater-like activities, and what’s better is that he gets to show how fun drama is to the new generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
