Hi there! I'm Natalie, a Maryland-raised, Dublin- and Chicago-based theatre artist, writer, and scholar. I write political plays, often about Judaism and community ethics. I get excited when plays have music, people flailing about in their 20s, sibling characters, and/or break the rules of realism. As an actor, I love sinking my teeth into classical text and new work alike. I earned my BA in Theatre and Religious Studies at Northwestern University in 2021. In the academic field of religion, I study canonization and the mechanisms by which institutions and power systems control their followers' beliefs. I'm currently earning my MPhil in Contextual Theologies and Interfaith Relations at Trinity College Dublin. When not writing or acting or researching, I'm often playing the flute, sewing my own clothes with a misguided belief that pattern instructions are merely a suggestion, or panicking that I'm about to lose my Yiddish Duolingo streak. |
