About Natosha

From a young age, I had a strong determination to be a performer. Yes, this meant many rehearsals leading up to the big performance at the upcoming family get together (which I took VERY seriously). This decisive attitude blossomed into a strong work ethic of a passionate performer and lover of theatre. I grew up in central Wisconsin and received my Bachelors of Arts degree in Theatre and Dance at Luther College. 

​

My first real on stage experience was through Academie de la Danse in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, where I took lessons for 11 years, continuing dance at Rapids School of Performing Arts for 4 more years.  My first musical was "Mary Poppins" in which I played the Bird Woman and a tap sweep. As well as musical theatre and dance, I have a passion for opera and choral music.  

​

My senior honors project concluding my degree at Luther was a fully self-produced production of Jason Robert Brown's "The Last Five Years". I directed and choreogthe cast, designed costumes, lighting and set, and performed as Cathy. I loved taking on such a large role in the process of the show and found it the most rewarding experience. You'll find several photos throughout the site of the production. 

​

As a performer, I value my ability to communicate honestly about what I have to offer to the performance, rehearsals, and community.  I am a strong singer, actor, and dancer.  But more importantly, I'm kind, honest, vulnerable, and quite funny (and that's not a joke, I really am quite funny) and in turn, I value those traits just as much as talent in the workspace.  

​

Besides performing, I also have a love for the technical side of theatre (lighting emphasis), photography, painting, Greta Van Fleet, cats (the pet not the musical. Although I am fond of both), and a great appreciation for my friends and family.
