Nathaniel J Hall & Friends

Welcome to Nathaniel J Hall & Friends, a brand-new producing hub for LGBTQ+ storytelling.
I’ve got big plans, but I can’t do it without friends. Over the next few years, we’ll be bringing brilliant LGBTQ+ stories to life together, on stage, on screen, on tour.
And through my mentorship, coaching and training scheme ‘Friends with Benefits’ you can level up your creative career too.

Friends With Benefits

Are you an LGBTQ+ creative or creative producer in Greater Manchester (or wider?) bursting with enthusiasm to tell brilliant stories, but stuck at how to make your project dreams happen?
Then let’s become friends… with benefits ;)

Why me?
With 15 years’ experience, £700k fundraised, 2 UK tours, 2 published plays and multiple creative storytelling projects delivered, I’ve learned a thing or two about turning creative ideas into reality.
But I see it time and time again… too many LGBTQ+ creatives struggling to navigate this challenging industry. Stuck working for low or no pay.
I believe in help-ups, not handouts. Nathaniel J Hall & Friends takes a business-minded approach to creativity, helping LGBTQ+ creatives to build successful and sustainable careers from their talent.
My approach is pragmatic and results driven. If you’re ready to level up your creative career with big ideas, let’s create.
