"THE REAL DEAL"
Paula Vogel, playwright
"PRETERNATURAL"
Scott Palmer, director
Natalie is an actress who values authenticity, integrity and imagination. A “pint-size powerhouse,” she has always been drawn to fearless work that plumbs the depths and defies expectation. She is a founding member of Krymov Lab NYC created by theatrical auteur Dmitry Krymov–hailed by the NYT as "one of the world's finest theatermakers." In 2024 she received a Broadway World LA Best Performer nomination for the role Sophie in Riot Act's site-responsive Uncle Vanya adaptation Gross Old Man. Natalie’s love of developing new work has led to world premieres and workshops with notable and emerging playwrights. She cut her teeth at the Moscow Art Theatre School (MXAT) during her undergrad at the University of Vermont (BA Classics & Theater) and holds an MFA in Acting from Harvard/American Repertory Theater and MXAT. Beyond acting Natalie loves wolves. She volunteers with the Wolf Conservation Center in upstate New York and has worked with Defenders of Wildlife to foster coexistence between wolves and humans in the Rockies. Natalie is originally from Connecticut, but feels herself a person of many places. She lives in New York City with her partner Kevin and dog Ophelia.
