WHO WE ARE

A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Natalia joined Off Square as a transplant from Los Angeles. Her career as a performer began at a young age when she traveled extensively across the United States and abroad dancing with a professional children’s dance company. In Los Angeles, Natalia apprenticed under Marjo-Riikka Makela in the Michael Chekhov Technique at Chekhov Studio International. In addition to her work with Off Square, Natalia is an associate producer with Firefly: Theatre and Films, a bicoastal company producing theatre and film, and a local elected official, serving as Vice-Chair of the Teton County Board of Commissioners.

Selected stage and film credits include; Mayella in To Kill a Mockingbird, Serita in Charlie’s War (Christabel Productions), Juliet in Romeo and Juliet, Nina in The SeagullI, Carter in Uncommon Women and Others, and Meredith in Five Women Wearing the Same Dress, and Helena in Midsummer Night’s Dream. At Off Square, she has appeared several times in Thin Air Shakespeare, including as Kate in The Taming of the Shrew.

Nanci Turner Steveson grew up in Connecticut, England and Texas with a book in one hand, the reins of a pony in the other. She is a published author (HarperCollins) of literature for young people, a lifelong equestrian, a lover of wildflowers, mountains and children — especially those who love to read and act.

Nanci grew up in a large family that was heavily involved in both opera and theater. When her own children were grown, she ditched her business-suit job on the East Coast, packed her truck and trailer with her horse, her dog, and a mysterious antique box given to her by a ghost and moved across country by herself to live in the shadow of the Tetons. Nanci continues to write books for children and is grateful to use both sides of her brain working as Education Director and Office Manager for Off Square Theatre Company.

Elizabeth Taylor lives in Jackson with her husband, their 2 kids, and a crazy malamute. She is an alumna of The University of Colorado Boulder, where she earned her BFA in Theater Technology for Carpentry and Lighting. After college, Elizabeth worked for Montana Shakespeare in the Parks, MT Shakespeare in the Schools, and The MSU Black Box Theater. She began her work with Off Square Theatre Company as a carpenter and light board operator for Music Man Jr. She is delighted to continue her work with Off Square as Stage Manager for Thin Air Shakespeare.
