Nick was a force--fearless, funny, irreverent, wickedly smart--and he made anyone he played with want to leave nothing on the table. I haven’t seen him for decades, but I am so sad to hear this news.

Love to you all,

Maggie

Really a mass of energy and talent. There is an amazing photo of Nick and a very young Emily which creeps me out and tickles at the same time.

Plus he taught us the “The Time Warp.” 

Thank you Doc for sharing this.

I know Nick only from photographs (at one time, volunteering for Doc, I had access to hundreds of Winedale photos from the 1970s), but every photo with Nick in it seemed to vibrate with the energy he was channeling into performance. 

My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved him.

I just read in Variety that Nick died.  He was at Winedale ’76 and ’77.  Surely the most original Petruchio I’ve worked with or seen!  Terrific risk-taker and genuine comedian.
