Nice to meet you.

I’m a Chicago based actor, writer, and podcaster. My full name is a sentence, which was especially funny and/or tragic when I ran track. In my spare time, you can find me spoiling my dog and not cooking.

Around the Town Chicago

“Played by Natalie Hurdle, Katurian is a mesmerizing presence on stage, exuding both desperation and fierce determination… utterly compelling.”

Kalamazoo Gazette

“Natalie Hurdle, as Li’l Bit, slips between a precocious 11-year old, a gawky prepubescent, and a woman coming into her own with aplomb and grace. She has wonderful chemistry with Scott Wiltsie… To inspire such conflicting emotions… is quite a feat.”

Western Herald

“Natalie Hurdle… effectively carries the play, [and] turns in a particularly stellar performance. From intimate conversations to internal monologue, Hurdle does not miss a beat. She talks one-to-one with the audience with all the witty charm of Clarissa explaining it all, yet when it comes to the heartbreaking moments of her history, she is able to make her character’s emotions flow seamlessly against the audience’s heartstrings.”
