FRACTURED
Creator/Performer: Nicola Elbro
A wide-eyed tomboy with a strong sense of adventure and a lack of common sense spends the first 13 years of her life in and out of casts. At the age of 14 she experiences death of a young friend for the first time and the adventure is put on hold. Over a decade later, she finally attempts to combat her fear of death and loss by volunteering at a camp for children with cancer... naturally.
Select Theatre Credits for Nicola Elbro: Terminus Tour 2014 (Outside the March), Marie Antoinette: The Colour of Flesh (Shadow Theatre), A Christmas Carol (Citadel Theatre 2012 & 2013), Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) (Belfry Theatre), Little Elephants (Shadow Theatre - Sterling Award), Mary's Wedding (Gateway Theatre - Jessie nomination), True Love Lies (Citadel Theatre - Sterling nomination), Doubt (Studio Theatre), Much Ado About Nothing and Macbeth (Freewill Shakespeare Festival). Nicola has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of Alberta. Nicola is the voice of Neera in the Bioware's game, Baldur's Gate EE and the voice of Keys on children's show "Splash n Boots". Lots of love to her friends and family for their support. A huge thank you to T.E.S. for everything!
