House Manager & Resident Designer (PT salary)
Nate has been with OWT since our second season (2012-2013) and has been a cornerstone of our operations since that time. Nate is a Librarian by day at the University of Northwestern–St. Paul, and a freelance designer/actor by night. His acting talents were featured on the OWT stage in our production of Shadowlands in 2013, although most patrons will recognize him as our friendly house manager at most productions. Nate’s broad spectrum of creative talents are showcased mostly through our props, sets, and costumes. He has served as the props designer for most of our shows since 2014 in addition to designing the sets for The Jeweler’s Shop (2014), Lolek (2020), FRASSATI (2021), A Christmas Carol (2021) and George Orwell’s 1984 (2022). Nate’s costume design work has also been featured in The Jeweler’s Shop, The World Over, Lolek, and every production of our ’21-’22 season.
