Nathaniel Jones

Nathaniel Jones is a fictional author, poet, lyricist, and performer in the Phoenix valley. Originally from Pasadena, CA, Nathaniel grew in his love for the arts at Blair High School and later honed his abilities at Citrus College in Glendora, CA. As soon as he reached Arizona in 2013, He hit the ground running, searching for ways to be involved with theatre in any way possible. Since then he has floated from standing in the spotlight as a performer to helping build things that look nice under them as a carpenter and welder. Nathaniel’s most prominent roles have been Homer L. Zuckerman in Charlottes Web and Man in The Snowy Day, at Childsplay. He has also lent his talents in the ensemble to many other theatres across the valley. As for scenic building and design, He has assisted with building props for Childsplay's production of "And In This Corner: Cassius Clay", volunteered as a welder for Mesa Encore Theatres Chicago and was employed as a carpenter at the Haugh Performing Arts Center in Glendora, CA. As a writer, Nathaniel has found solace in fiction and poetry, as well as assisting with the occasional song or two. He currently has published work on Amazon, and now, bringing his writing full circle as a theatre reviewer for BWW. You can find his book, “Indecent Exposure” as well as other information at https://www.facebook.com/wordsbynathaniel Nathaniel believes in actors being identified and acknowledged by their talents, abilities, and personas over their hue and gender. He believes there is room to make choices for rolls that may not be of the norm when the context of the character allows. Also, Nathaniel is a strong supporter of the folks that make a show great but go unseen and unheard. It is important that we acknowledge their talents when it is due to show others just how much work, love, and skill goes into each and every performance.
