About Nicholas Assunto

I hold a B.A. in Theater Arts from Salve Regina University and currently study advanced improv at The Upright Citizen's Brigade Theater in New York City. I co-wrote, directed and edited a 2007 48 Hour Film Festival "Best of Providence" short film, P.T. London in the Tri-Spy Try. I currently direct Slanted Light, the comedy addition to Slanted Light Theater Company out of Milford, CT. In college I was awarded Most Valuable Improviser in my graduating class as well as during the 2007 Improv Boston College Comedy Beanpot Tournament during Round 1 with my group Seahawk Down, which I student directed. I also studied playwriting under Franco D'Alessandro, an internationally renowned playwright and student of Edward Albee's.

As a writer I have several unproduced one act plays, and one unproduced feature length screenplay, a horror western entitled "Soul Hungry: The Daring Rescue", as well as several works in progress. I also write sketch comedy and short films, and am available for hire on any projects. If you'd like to see samples of my work or hear a pitch, please email me at Nick.Assunto@gmail.com

As a stage actor some of my highlights include Macbeth, Francis Flute, Son in WASP, Cliff in Cabaret, Dr. Jack Seward in Dracula, Jon in Love, Sex and the I.R.S., and Bill in Sure Thing.

As a director I have done a college production of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap and David Ives' All in the Timing. I have also done three short films.
