Hi, I’m Nevan. I live in New York, where I make websites and occasionally write. I really like typography, just ask my friends, family, and therapist. About Me ›

Here I am as Geronte in Moliére’s excellent comedy, directed by Eli Taylor. (No, I don't feel typecast, thanks for asking.)

The Busybody

I played Sir Jealous Traffick in a revival of Susana Centlivre’s Restoration comedy, directed by Raney Cumbow. We had a great time, and got at least one glowing review.

The Person

The Person

Gallery Show, 2008

“The Person” was the culmination of a year-long project I worked on as a student of Dan Hurlin’s at Sarah Lawrence College.

I was exploring typography throughout the process, originally to make a performance piece. In the end, I had pieces that fit a gallery show better, so I prepared them and had the wonderful chance to show in the library on empty shelf space where the books were being rearranged.

Brick by Brick

Brick by Brick

by Ross Wade and Nehemiah Luckett
New Musical, 2006

I directed an involved staged reading of this new musical based on the life and writing of Edgar Allan Poe. Our production successfully persuaded the Theatre Department at Sarah Lawrence to mount a full production the following semester.

Midnight Cabaret

Midnight Cabaret

Weekly Performance Ensemble
Director, 2005

I started Midnight Cabaret in 2005 as a space for workshopping and experimenting with theatre, dance, music, and comedy at Sarah Lawrence College. We performed new work every Friday to a packed lecture hall. At the end of the first semester, I handed off the reigns, and the group has been performing every year since.

Currently

I’m working as the lead developer on web projects at Cantilever alongside Ty Fujimura. We’ll hopefully have a website of our own sometime in the near future. For now, please email us at inquiries@cantilever.co if you’d like to get in touch.

I am also part of The Bent Quill Players, a young theatre company right here in New York. We’re currently raising funds for our 2012 season, which will include the “Classically Forgotten” reading series, and a music video follow-up to “Dear Ophelia”.
