Meet the Business Owner

Nichole D.

Business Owner

TAPT is the creative vision of Founder/​Artistic Director Nichole Donje’. Founded in 2006 as a means for artists to come together to support one another to grow. TAPT has become an artistic platform fashioned to foster the careers of the artists involved while reminding one another that the world is bigger, more open and more positive than often thought. Theatre creates community; it is a perfect example to remind us that human contact is not obsolete.

An actor, director and technician for 20+ years, she has worked with new plays at their various stages of development her entire career. Her goal has always been to use great theatre and talent to bring society together to talk about not simply how good or bad the play is, but what makes the story important. Why does it resonate with us as people? The objective is to work with plays that stir up discussion about topics that we struggle to be honest with in our society.
