Nathan Dennis

is a Brooklyn based playwright and poet of Floridian extraction. He is the Cofounder and Producer for Little Shitty Theatre Company, through which he wrote and produced his philosophical comedy Circle of Shit at Dixon Place in March 2019. His most recent musical, Quiddawick, was workshopped at OpenJar Studios in the Winter of 2025. Previous plays include Lord of Florida, which was awarded a reading series by PrismHouse Theatre Company in fall of 2017; and The Octopus, which was produced by Rogue Theatre Company in Tallahassee in 2016. He served as the founder and Vintner-in-Chief of Wine Cellar Press from 2020-2024.

Born into a Navy family, he draws inspiration from the near-legendary places he has passed through — from the Gilden mansions of Newport, to the archaic ruins of Sicily, to the Spanish forts of Old Florida. As such, he celebrates crafting and reforging traditional forms and genres into contemporary and contemplative theatre. He strives to pepper his scripts with an eclectic blend of myth, farce, legend, and slapstick.

 He is greatly inspired by William Blake, Mel Brooks, J.R.R. Tolkien, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Doctor Strangelove — who taught him to stop worrying and love the bomb.
