NATHAN HOLLEY

CAPTIVATING PERFORMANCES, AND STRANGE, HEARTFELT WORLDS

Nathan Holley is an award-winning writer, performer, and creative based in Salt Lake City, Utah. A jack-of-all-trades (and master of them too), Holley relishes in engaging with ambitious, emotionally resonant work that gifts audiences and colleagues with they need most: connection.

With a BA in Playwriting from Brigham Young University, Nathan believes in creating both accessible, uplifting theatrical crowd-pleasers that leave audiences inspired and richly entertained, as well as challenging, darker dramas that enrich the mind and examines deeper corners of humanity. His current projects include an existential examination of sisterhood on the pioneer trail, a Biblical sea-epic humorously navigating blind faith, and a jovial review of fatherhood and family (and gambling) in a highly-praised commercial musical comedy.

He is perhaps most well-known for his deeply-moving, fanciful underwater family-drama, Archipelago, which was the recipient of the Vera Hinckley Mayhew Award for Outstanding Drama. The Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer, Will Arbery, described the script as "a story of grief so powerful, it tears the very fabric of the universe apart." Holley is currently searching for investors and collaborators who can help bring this beautiful and celebrated work to the stage in a full production.

Nathan is a regular performer at the world-renowned Hale Center Theatre is Sandy, Utah, most recently appearing in the acclaimed productions of The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Jehan Frollo) and The Prince of Egypt (Hotep). He is also a seasoned voice artist and broadcast professional, his work syndicated globally on major radio and podcasting platforms, including SiriusXM.
