Nicole Fenstad (Minneapolis Cast 2011 & 2012) As the oldest and only girl in a family of three brothers, she quickly honed her female skills to take charge and boss her siblings around with weekly play practice for the annual Christmas program. Performing was in her blood and she eventually made her way to New York City where she lived and worked for eight years. She is approaching her five year anniversary of transplanting back to the Midwest, where she continues to act on local stages including The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres and the Pantages Theatre. When not performing, she works as a realtor with Edina Realty, sings Christmas songs with a four-girl A cappella group called Chick Cheer (www.chickcheer.com) and is also the founder of a children’s entertainment company called Princess Party Pals (www.princesspartypals.com). She entertains and helps little girls celebrate their inner princess with sparkles, tiaras, feathered boas, cupcakes and, of course, oodles of pink! For my mom, from her one and only girl...
