Nathan Christopher

Nathan Christopher (www.thenathanchristopher.com) writes plays about the universal truths of everyday life. Through the exploration of familiar moments—falling in (and out of) love, the death of a loved one, an act of violence, the slow decline of age—his work offers new perspectives, questions the conventional, provides comfort, allows us to laugh and, most of all, ask us to look inward rather than outward because that’s how we start changing the world.

Christopher is the author of nine plays: PICKING UP, THE FAREWELL TOUR, TO REMAIN SILENT, A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR, SORRY (NOT SORRY), CLAIREVOYANT, GOOD BOY BAD BOY, DOWN TO THE WIRE, and EVE: A PALINDROME PLAY.

A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR and EVE: A PALINDROME PLAY are published in the Smith & Kraus BEST TEN-MINUTE PLAYS anthologies.

PICKING UP was a winner in the “Script” category of the 86th annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition. A musical version of the show, created with lauded singer-songwriter Gregory Douglass, made its off-off-Broadway workshop debut to a sold-out house as part of the Emerging Artists Theatre’s Spark Festival. It was also featured in Undiscovered Works at Dixon Place’s Monthly Storytelling Series (NYC), and celebrated in a special broadcast on Musical Theatre Radio to mark the one-year anniversary of the show’s creation.

Christopher is a member of the Dramatists Guild, and has supports the Atlantic Theater Company. Follow him on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and read his work on National New Play Exchange (NPX).
