In his comedic solo piece, David Nathan Schwartz creates his roller coaster experiences within the maze of medicine, a potentially deadly operation and the reclamation of his life, transforming himself into the over forty characters that occupy his surrealistic world. One reviewer wrote: “…My Brain Tumor makes you laugh, empathize and then laugh again at the foibles of our humanity, our support systems and our own bodies” The original production earned an LA Weekly Theatre Pick of the Week and other critical kudos. Subsequent productions have followed at theatres throughout Los Angeles and the United States.
A graduate of The American Conservatory Theatre’s advanced training program, he has taught or served on the faculties of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, The American Conservatory Theatre, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Hollywood Acting Corps, Santa Monica College, Pepperdine University as well as running a private acting studio. He is an acting and directing associate member of the Pacific Resident Theatre and Playwrights 6, a local playwrights collective. Other directing credits include premier works at the Coast Playhouse, Lost Studio, Hudson Guild Theatre, Celebration Theatre, Theatre East, The Twenty-one Square Foot Theatre and Pacific Resident Theatre.
