NERISSA HART (they/she/occasionally he, as a treat) graduated from George Mason University's School of Theatre with a BFA in Performance and Directing. Their passion for differing mediums of artistic storytelling has allowed them to tackle stories from several different lenses, whether it be in performing written stories, playing through stories and analyzing them, improvising to weave a story with others, creating art representative of stories, or writing stories and bringing them to life herself.
In the world of theatre, Nerissa has experience as an actor, director, writer, children's teacher, and designer. She has a foundation in classical and contemporary theatre, musical theatre, but now specializes in and has a great passion for devised and immersive theatre.
In film, videogames, television, industrial work, and podcasting, Nerissa has tackled roles on screen, in production, writing, and in voiceover. The webseries pilot, Versus, that she wrote, created, and cast also earned an Official Honoree in the 2015 Webby Awards, as well as three Cinema In Industry Awards for Best Pilot, Best Direction, and Best Writing.

"AHHHHHH, NO!” Nerissa Hart, known as “RUBIEHART” online, screams. “Give me your face, please! Come here. Babe. Babe. Babe. Babe! Come on! AHH! OK… Give me the plant. Give me the plant. Give me the plant. Thank youuuuuu!” Hart sings the last word at a high pitch the way an opera singer would, as their character plunges his sword into a beautiful, strange beast, killing it.
Hart isn’t catcalling anyone, nor are they begging anyone for their plants or faces. They’re “speedrunning” a videogame for Games Done Quick, where such seemingly bizarre phrases are commonplace and understood by thousands...
During runs of the game, Hart is cheery and talkative while moving between colossi, explaining each upcoming trick in simple terms and looking directly into the camera while waiting for the game to load. Once they get to fighting them, however, they become more serious and intent upon the game, their face drawing closer to the screen as they exact highly specific tricks. When facing difficulties with a colossus, Hart shouts their signature “babe!” phrase, and when they get something especially difficult right, they sometimes give a high-pitched operatic scream, followed by throwing their hands in the air in excitement after finishing the level...
“TIME!” Hart yells, then gives a long exhale, nervously covering their face with their hands. “What was the time, what did it come out to?”
A long pause.
“I don’t know, I can’t see the stream…” Hart’s co-commentator says.
“Oh no! Oh gosh, oh, OK…” Hart says, laughing nervously, checking for their final time.
A longer pause. Hart’s eyes suddenly widen as they finally see it: a new personal best time, or “PB” for short.
“I GOT A PB! My best was 1:38, oh my gosh!!” Hart shoots their hands into the air as they and their commentators laugh and yell in celebration, having performed their best-ever run of the game on speedrunning’s biggest stage."
