Tesia Nicoli

After school plays in elementary and high school, Tesia then moved on to studying Broadcast Communications in college and pursuing all the avenues made available to her. This eventually led her to doing some episodes of Medical Detectives on The Learning Channel. She then took multiple acting classes and workshops to learn as much as she could about this profession. While she was enrolled in some classes, she played an extra in an indie film, Black Wine and landed some roles on the stage of The Theatre Outlet in Allentown, PA.

Tesia was soon cast as "Catherine" in the independent film, Townies. She was ecstatic about finally having a speaking role in a film when just a few days later she got a call to play the lead role in the independent film, Edgar Allan Poe's Berenice. Tesia has since been cast as the lead role of 'Kate' in a short film called The Apprentice. Tesia finds it very reassuring and the 'ultimate compliment' that the producers and directors from Berenice and Townies have asked her to be a part of their future productions. She has also done several TV and radio commercials for Berks Technical Institute and Florida Technical College.

Shortly after wrapping Berenice, in September 2002, Tesia became the new co-host of The Stage. Tesia says that the show allows her to refine her improvisational skills and it gives her more experience in front of the camera. She looks forward to shooting The Stage each week and loves every second of it.

In Tesia's spare time she enjoys writing. Writing is a mind-bending pastime for Tesia. She says it's almost as if a story and its characters start to grow in her brain and she just has to get them out onto paper. In the past couple years, Tesia has completed two screenplays and over a dozen plays for the stage. In fact her one play, Get Gone, was recently featured with two other playwrights on the stage of the Theatre Outlet.

Tesia has earned the titles of actor, co-host, and playwright with a degree of success at each. Tesia says that,"the worst thing you can do with your life is regret it and the best thing you can do is live it up while still maintaining realistic expectations for yourself". And what are Tesia's expectations? Nothing is certain, but anything is possible, I expect that more great opportunities are right around the corner.
