Cody is:
"Dashing"-Washington Times
"Scrumptious"-DC Theatre Scene
"At no point do you want to stab him." -DCist
"The dozen actors form a seamless ensemble, and even those filling the smallest roles are swell. Particularly strong are Erin Weaver, as an aristocratic girl of the 19th century with a surprising, visionary capacity; Holly Twyford, playing a no-nonsense historical investigator; Eric Hissom, in a turn as an academic whose ego drives him to self-destructive stunts; and Cody Nickell, portraying a tutor in the home of Weaver's Thomasina, and who is the unlikely linchpin of events unfolding in both epochs." –Washington Post
"The intertwined storylines is anchored by pitch-perfect turns from Erin Weaver and Cody Nickell (as adolescent math genius Thomasina and her witty-rascal tutor Septimus, the central 19th-century twosome) and Holly Twyford and Eric Hissom as Hannah and Bernard, two modern-era researchers whose mutual suspicion never quite poisons their shared love of the chase." Washington City Paper
"Cody Nickell, as her twenty-something tutor, is the epitome of the coolly brainy, verbally fluent, adventuresome, sexual swordsman par excellence. He is almost never at a loss for words to survive whatever befalls him."-Potomac Stages
"Nickell plays Septimus seriously as the romantic lead, straddling both realms of head and heart, a man of learning who “dips his pen” regularly in the erotic."-nbcwashington.com

Last season Cody played Macduff in Aaron Posner and Teller's Macbeth. This hugely successful production enjoyed runs at The Two River Theatre company in New Jersey and The Folger Theatre in Washington, DC. Check out the reviews page to see what critics had to say.

"Cody Nickell hits just the right notes as a bright, ambitious go-getter who's suddenly got more than he can handle. As his frustration rises into derangement during act one, he launches a breathless rant about everyday irritations that grows so intensely noxious that you can practically smell the fumes. Yet he remains likeable enough that his abject loneliness in the second act still can move us." - The Oregonian

Next up for Cody is The 2009 JAW: A Playwright's Festival at Portland Center Stage this summer. Check back soon for Cody's upcoming roles.
