Nat Angstrom and Caitlin White (Artistic Directors) are directors, producers and actors based in New York City. They founded Bottoms Dream as a place where friends and artists could work together to create original, unique adaptations of classic plays. Their team experiments with reinventing classic texts, a process that gives new meaning to familiar words, new depth to well-known characters, and new life to timeless stories. They work closely with other young Shakespeare companies, helping to build the Shakespeare scene in New York City. This Spring, they will produce the third annual New York Shakespeare Convention.
