He describes his character as manipulative but sees himself as eclectic. His first acting role was a bartender in a CCAD student film. While new to TLP he is excited to be working with cast and crew, saying they are "dedicated, talented and fun to work with." He will absolutely look for future TLP opportunities, saying he'd "consider anything"!

Anthony Nicholson. This Lancaster resident began his acting career with church plays as a child but this is first time on the TLP stage. He wanted to be part of this production because
Deathtrap is a great play.
Nicholson stays in touch with TLP via the website and the constant contact blasts to learn about auditions and upcoming productions.
When asked to desribe himself in one word, Nicholson says he is honest but Clifford is mischievous. His biggest challenge to this this production is the Ohio winter weather. He loves the cast and crew and hopes to return TLP as his schedule permits.
