What does it take to build a thriving acting career outside of New York or L.A.? In this episode of The Actor’s Instrument, host Hassiem Muhammad sits down with award-winning stage actor Cody Nickell to explore life and work in the D.C.–Maryland–Virginia (DMV) theater scene. Cody shares his journey from New York auditions to finding consistency and creative fulfillment in D.C.’s growing regional market. 

With over 20 years in the business and five Helen Hayes Award nominations, Cody opens up about why the DMV is a hidden gem for professional actors, and lessons from working with theaters like Woolly Mammoth, Round House, and Folger
