Nigel Bailey is extremely proud to be joining the American Stage cast of Ragtime. Nigel lives in St. Petersburg with his family and attends St. Petersburg Christian School. He is in the fifth grade, and his favorite subjects are science and social studies. Nigel is a part of his school’s musical theater program, and recently appeared in the musical, A Christmas Yarn (a twist on Dickens’ A Christmas Carol). Nigel has attended American Stage youth classes and summer camps since the age of six. Aside from acting, Nigel enjoys martial arts and playing on his school’s bowling team. Nigel would like to thank his mother for her love and support. He also thanks his musical theater instructors and American Stage teaching artists for contributing to his love for acting and theater. Nigel dedicates his performances to the memory of his late uncle, Michael Walker, for always encouraging him to follow his dreams.
