Natalie C. Bailey had her first brush with show business at two weeks old when she played baby Jesus in the St. Helena Church Christmas Pagent; it is her goal to continue such groundbreaking, genderbending work in the future.

   Nat graduated last May from Kean University with a BFA in Theatre Performance. This past summer, she was an apprentice at the Berkshire Theatre Festival where she stomped in the style of Tadishi Suzuki in a dusty barn and joined the Equity Membership Canidancy program.

    Recently, Nat got her first paying job understudying for Beautiful Dark at Premiere Stages; getting paid to act is another tradition Nat plans to continue.
