Bottoms Dream to Present the NYC Premiere of THE GHOST, 2/4-15

How exactly did Rosencrantz and Guildenstern die? And who really is #TheGhost?

Kevin James Hollenbeck is Production Stage Manager.
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 reunite and work together again. 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 each spent time acting and teaching at Shakesperience Productions in CT, where they appeared in several roles (among others, Nat as the titular roles in Henry V and Richard III and Caitlin as Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream). They work closely with other young Shakespeare companies, helping to build the Shakespeare scene in New York City. This Spring, they will host the first New York Shakespeare Convention.
