About Me
A Canadian by birth (and still in both citizenship and excessive use of 'please' and 'sorry'), Natalie moved to the Boston area at age five and has been a New England local ever since (right down to the excessive use of 'wicked').
She is currently on staff at Trinity Rep as Assistant Props Master where she also serves as the Props Master for the Brown/Trinity MFA Programs. She's created props for theaters in New England, including the Huntington Theatre Co., Brown/Trinity Summer Playwrights, Brown University Undergraduate Theatre, Opera Boston, Speakeasy Stage, Shakespeare & Co, and Lyric Stage. Beyond the east coast, she's had work featured at Central City Opera in Colorado and the Beijing Music Festival in Beijing China.
She was a Professional Intern for the 2008-2009 season at the Huntington Theatre Company and completed a work placement in the Properties Shop at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon where she built props for the 2008 production of "Love's Labours Lost" starring David Tennant. Natalie is a 2008 graduate of Emerson College, BFA Design/Tech, Magna Cum Laude, and a member of SPAM (Society of Properties Artisan Managers).
Natalie’s design and craft philosophy stems from a deep belief in collaboration and integrity to an overall design. She works with a scenic designer to create a team atmosphere where shared ideas and visions are translated into fully realized enviroments. With background training in scenic design, she is committed to bringing a set to life through props and set dressings. A dedicated craftsperson, Natalie also enjoys bringing her skills to a show by creating one-of-a-kind items catered specifically to the design and vision of the artists and director working on a piece. Her specialties are paper props and assemblage (found-object art).
