Presenter Profile

Nathaniel is a New York City and Los Angeles-based performer and teacher. A ThunderRidge High School alum, he graduated from Yale in 2015 with a BA in Theatre Studies after a year abroad with the Yale Whiffenpoofs, for whom he was a lead soloist and arranger. 

Nathaniel has pounded the NYC/LA pavement since 2015. He's seen it all: final callbacks for national tours and Broadway shows, the crowds of people in line at 5 am praying for an audition slot for well-known dinner theaters, dance calls where he's the only auditioner, standing next to celebrities in the elevator (please ask. He loves those stories). He has successfully moved from Colorado to New York to LA, found a day job that pays the bills, worked with master teachers, built a bicoastal resume, been stuck on a cruise ship for two months during COVID, found an agent and manager, joined the circus (literally), gotten his Equity card, created viral videos on social media, and managed to maintain a social life. If you don't get a chance to ask him your question in a workshop, feel free to DM or email nathaniel@groveprep.com and he'll answer if he can.

Kingfisher Prep, Nathaniel's tutoring company, helps students from all over the world with homework, standardized tests (SAT/ACT), college admissions essays, and college courses.
