Nathaniel Bergman

I am a senior at The University Of Miami working towards a BFA in Musical Theatre. I was born and raised in Westchester, NY, and I reside in Brooklyn, NY, when I am not at school. Growing up in one of the world's largest hubs of live performance has inspired me and given me a deep appreciation for theater. I have participated in many theater performances and productions on stage, backstage and in the audience. Theater is my passion and informs my outlook, ethics, and appreciation for the arts.

​

Growing up, music was the centerpiece of my life. My mother is a rabbi and included all of us in her Jewish musical experiences, and my father is a lifelong guitar player; I adopted their love of music and started guitar lessons at the age of 7. Guitar helped me find my voice, and throughout middle school and high school, I worked with a vocal coach and discovered singing and theater. I also served as the cantorial soloist for my mom’s High Holy Day experience and b’nai mitzvah services; this enhanced my ability to use music in different settings to tell a story and to set a specific tone.

I am passionate, loving, and funny, so I am drawn to characters who exhibit those qualities. On stage, I thrive in roles where I can fight for something important, use my whole body to tell the story, and pour my passion and energy into my character's motives.

​

The live performances and musical experiences I have been a part of have strengthened my desire to contribute my skills in musical theatre. I am excited to share my passion and energy with the world and move audiences the way so many performances have moved me!
