NICHOLAS S. ORVIS
DIRECTOR AND DRAMATURG
PAST PRODUCTIONS
By William Shakespeare; adapted by Nicholas Orvis and the Cast.
Wesleyan University Theater Department, December 2013.
"...the duo, directed by Nicholas Orvis, powers through by using all the means that they have at their disposal: physical games, drawing, and origami. By wrestling the task of staging, Echo searches for alternative ways of “voicing” one’s agency and manifesting oneself...a one-of-a-kind theatrical treat."

"A play as ambitious as Under Milk Wood requires complex production work. . . Fortunately, director Nicholas Orvis ’13 managed to find an original and practical way to fit an entire town in the space. . . Looking back, Under Milk Wood was not just a play but a powerful and memorable experience."
The Wesleyan Argus,
Under Milk Wood
"From my seat in the back row, I had an almost birds-eye view of the action and could easily see all the actors, an impressive feat for a show almost in the round. I had the sense of peering down on this scene as the action unfolded, and that unique staging experience made the show for me."
