Gregory Naman is a Lebanese-American creative artist and performer based in Chicago, having just dug up his roots in south Alabama and relocated to the Midwest earlier this year. His free spirit, love for creating art, and burning desire to befriend everybody in existence has taken him all across the country, and hopefully the world (looking at you, tours and cruise lines). Gregory’s theatrical tool belt has accrued many notches comprising of experience in performing, choreographing and dance captaining, stage combat, swinging and understudying, directing, and even a bit of playwriting. If you’re on the hunt for him, there is a 90% chance he is working on a regional production of Come From Away somewhere.

Gregory is a recent graduate of the University of Mobile, receiving not only a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Acting Performance, but also a Bachelor’s of Science in Communications with an emphasis in Advertising and Public Relations (and that’s on multitasking). During his time in college, Gregory quite literally played all the parts; on any given day, he could’ve been found onstage playing some of your favorite boy-next-door roles, running a rehearsal as a choreographer or dance captain, lending his smooth vocals for jazz concerts, starring in a feature length student film, making his directorial debut, writing news releases for marketing, or creating content for the university’s social media platforms.

When he is offstage, Gregory loves exploring new coffee shops and restaurants, writing plays and poetry, entertaining game nights with friends, having photoshoots at golden hour to post on the gram, and yapping for hours on end. He serves as a repertoire and audition coach as well, helping both aspiring and professional performers establish themselves in their craft by aiding in creating professional-grade resumés, building well-rounded audition books, and preparing for upcoming auditions at the community, educational, or professional level.
