Natalie Shaw is the Owner, Operator and Editor in Chief for Dallas Theatre Journal.  Her first love in Life was Theatre and she is still enamored with it today. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Oklahoma State University in Theatre, with an emphasis on Performance. As a Reviewer, she is thrilled to support local Theatre artists with the power of words and make so many wonderful productions accessible for audiences!

Eddy has been performing consistently in the DFW area for the last 10 years as a stage and commercial actor represented by The Cachet Talent Agency. When not on stage, you will find him directing, set designing, or volunteering somewhere. On or off stage, you will find Eddy doing what he loves most...supporting live theatre.  He believes in the importance of encouraging actors as they pursue their passion, and there is nothing more beneficial to an actor than to be validated and be given constructive feedback. Reviews are so important to the process, not only to the actor, but to theatre companies to promote their shows and to encourage audience attendance.  Eddy is honored to represent the Dallas Theatre Journal and support live theatre in DFW. 

Aubrey is a Higher Education Professional by day and a Stage Manger by night, and has been involved with the theatre since high school! She holds both a BA in Advertising and Public Relations and an M.Ed. in Higher Education Leadership, both of which have been very useful in different ways while working with theatres in various different capacities. She is also the co-founder of The Compass Collective which aims to bring healing to our theatre community through retreats and workshops. Aubrey is excited to be a reviewer because she recognizes how important a review can be for not only the audience who wants to come and see our shows, but for those who are working in and for the shows as well!

Grant looks forward to promoting the excellent performances produced in the DFW region in partnership with the Dallas Theater Journal.

Sara Jones has loved theater all her life – ever since she was cast as Gretel way back in Kindergarten! She spent her younger years performing in school shows, as part of an improv troupe in college, and working on design/technical teams for local theaters. After a bit of an extended leave from the theater world, she found her way back in 2018 and has been immersed in performing, directing, and designing ever since. In that time, she has directed several one act plays, three full length productions, been on stage in several shows, stage managed a few, and designed props for many. She has enjoyed working with several theaters in North Texas and loves discovering new venues and new (or new to her!) works.
