☆ Hi! I’m Nova ☆

Nova Gomez making a peace sign at the Oberlin 2025 graduation in their cap and gown.

Hi! I’m Nova Kao Gomez (any pronouns) and I’m a theatre artist from Chicago, IL. I graduated from Oberlin College with BA in Psychology and Theater (highest honors + Nash drama award) with a minor in East Asian studies. While in college, I was involved with ten billion things and was granted the senior leadership award. I’ve also led the charity event “Crafting Change” and helped raise roughly $1,000 for trans youth in Ohio.

NYC is my new home. I’ve helped produce theater while interning for Latine Music Theater Lab and The New Group. I’ve also performed in concerts at 54 Below and The Green Room 42. I have also worked as an intern at The Farm as an assistant stage manager.

If you’ve read this far in, YAY! I love you. I also love way more stuff than just theatre, you can check it out here. I double dog dare you to reach out to me, I’m a sucker for new friends!
