HAPPIEST NEW YEAR from the frozen beauty of the St. Nell’s backyard!! In a year that gave us all more material to satirize than honestly any of us were asking for, the Nell’s community contributed to grow and do amazing things. Running this jawn is one of the great pleasures and privileges of my life. Love to you all, and bestest of everything for 2026! ❤️❤️❤️

We had a phenomenal weekend @stnells with this incredible cohort! Thank you for having us lead our first ever solo show intensive. Your vulnerability, support & courage inspired us!!! So proud 🥹!!! It’s almost as if we all…. “Went to NYU.” #iykyk!!! ♥️
Coming to Nell’s to reset for the next cohort and finding this piece of home made paper with the Nell’s logo painted on it made my heart do a whole three-sizes-too-big move. Melissa Rocha, Nadia P. Manzoor, and Nell Kessler, thank you for filling the place with excellent arts mojo. Can’t wait to have this framed. ❤️❤️❤️

The time has come for a new guest book at St. Nell’s! The first one - a notebook that the most wonderful @catiestardust gave me that was repurposed from an old book of jokes, what could be more perfect! - is FULL. Which is how my heart feels when I look through it - it’s a testament to the love, work, and community that the residents build at Nell’s, and it is a joy. I figured a suitable replacement would present itself, and lo and behold there was a notebook in the present bag from @allinbroadway - love and comedy? PERFECT. I look forward to the new book being filled with notes from future residents and to all the hilarity and friendships to be made at Nell’s in the years to come, God willing and the creek don’t rise. LOVE LOVE LOVE THE NELL’S COMMUNITY OK THAT’S IT ENOUGH FEELINGS GOOD NIGHT ❤️❤️❤️📕📕
