Smile

What makes Nicole Amsler smile? “Friends and family walking through my front door,” said the 51-year-old Noblesville resident. She works remotely as a marketing manager for CareerShare, a technology education platform for OSHA training. She’s a mother to three Noblesville graduates. Her daughter, Delaney, graduated from IU Bloomington and is a fifth- and sixth-grade English and Social Studies teacher at Stony Brook Intermediate. Her son, Spencer, is finishing his final year in Jeffersonville at Mid-America College of Funeral Services.  Her bonus daughter, Krista, graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University and lives and works in Noblesville. She loved having “theater kids” visit when her kids were in high school. Now, she spends much of her free time doing community theater. She’s currently directing The Belfry Theatre’s first show of the 59th season, the comedy, “How the Other Half Loves,” through Sunday at Arts for Lawrence’s Theater at the Fort. She won the Encore Association’s award for Best Stage Manager of a Play for “Rumors” at Basile Westfield Playhouse in 2022. She is a playwright and directed one of her short plays, “Holiday Cards” which she directed in December 2022 at Westfield Playhouse. She produced “Around the World in 80 Days” for The Belfry Theatre in Winter 2023 and directed Hyperion Players’ “God of Carnage” in Spring 2023. Nicole has “Carpe Diem” tattooed on her ankle, and her next tattoo will be “Die Interesting.” She said, “That’s my goal: a big, juicy, creative, wild life.”
