Nicholls Players unveil 2025 Spring Show: A powerful production of “33 Variations” by Moisés Kaufman

The Nicholls Players, a non-profit student theatre organization on the campus of Nicholls State University, is excited to announce their 2025 Spring Show.

Every fall and spring, the Nicholls Players performs one main-stage show in the Mary and Al Danos Theater in Talbot Hall. This spring, lovers of classic theater are invited to come out for the local production of 33 Variations: A Play by Moisés Kaufman.

33 Variations takes place in two parallel timelines– the audience will follow Beethoven as he writes the Diabelli Variations while going deaf, and a Beethoven scholar who is studying Beethoven while she is dying of ALS. The two timelines converge in this play about passion and the moments of beauty that can transform a life.

The Nicholls State University cast for 33 Variations is as follows:

• Courtney Bergeron as Dr. Katherine Brandt – Senior majoring in Marine Biology from Montegut, LA
• Matteo Santiago as Ludwig Van Beethoven – Senior majoring in Mass Communication from Thibodaux, LA
• Aurora McManamon as Clara Brandt – Freshman majoring in Culinary Arts from Boise, ID
• Andrew Thibodaux as Anton Schindler – Junior majoring in English from Houma, LA
• Daniel Aucoin as Mike Clark – Freshman majoring in Mass Communication from Berwick, LA
• Alex Terrebonne as Anton Diabelli – Sophomore majoring in Culinary Arts from Cut Off, LA
• Nya Singleton as Dr. Gertie Ladenburger – Sophomore majoring in Nursing from White Castle, LA
• Madelene Sonnier as Flight Attendant/Machine/Nurse – Freshman majoring in Culinary Arts from Houma, LA

33 Variations will run from March 13-15, 2025 at 7:00 PM and March 16, 2025 at 2:00 PM. Tickets are $15 for students and $25 for non-students at the Mary and Al Danos Theatre in Talbot Hall at Nicholls State University. Tickets can be purchased here.
