About Natalie

Natalie Jones is a freelance theatre artist based in Queens, New York. A South Jersey native, Natalie first discovered her love for theatre as a shy kindergartener back in 1996 through the Our Gang Players, a community theatre group in her hometown, and hasn’t stopped since!

Since graduating in 2013, Natalie has worked with numerous companies throughout New York and New Jersey as an actor, director, dialect coach, teaching artist, stage manager, and more. She is a proud member of Actors’ Equity Association.

 

As a teaching artist, Natalie currently works for Story Pirates, a nationally-renowned non-profit education/entertainment company, as well as Play On! Studios.
