Nicolette Minella

Bright, driven, and fun, Nicolette is a graduating senior musical theatre major at Shenandoah Conservatory. She was born and raised on Long Island, the land of great pizza and bagels, with a big ol' Italian family and Broadway in her backyard. Nicolette has been singing since she could speak, and had her first choir solo by 2nd grade- You Raise Me Up...pretty heavy, right? By age 11, she traded her softball cleats for a pair of 1-inch baby Capezios (that have since been upgraded to Laducas), and fell in love with the stage.

Seven years and 30+ shows later, Nicolette headed to Winchester, Virginia to pursue her BFA. In her four years at Shenandoah, she has also discovered a love for producing and arts management through her work with The Playwrights Performance Group and Alpha Psi Omega. On top of receiving her BFA in 2020, she will also receive her Masters in Performing Arts Leadership and Management from the Conservatory in 2021.

Nicolette has repeatedly been noted as professional, prepared, humble, and fun to work with. AND, she makes a mean guacamole.
