Justin Nadal (Joe) came to New York City after working five years as an award winning television news and features reporter in the Hudson Valley. While upstate, he became a member of the Grass Roots Players where he performed, produced and directed in a number of productions. Among them: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Dale Harding), Tracers (Professor), and Titanic Voices, which he also wrote. Other roles include Val in Orpheus Descending, Jamie Tyrone in Long Days Journey Into Night, Micha Bradstreet in G.R. Point, and Quentin in Small Craft Warnings. In 2000 he joined Big Sky Productions of Sullivan County and played Biff Loman in the critically acclaimed production of Death of a Salesman. As a member of the Rockland Shakespeare Company, Justin played Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing and Banquo in Macbeth. In the summer of 2001, he toured with the Grass Roots Players on an 11-thousand mile journey across the United States called Blues Across Town, a production that included works from Tennessee Williams, Vincent Van Gogh, and a dramatized letter left at the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. He performed and co-directed The What if Show, a comedy improv show at the Cutting Room Theater, and co-produced and performed in the Memorial Day program, Rattling the Bones of God, honoring Vietnam Veterans. Justin is currently a board member of Ten Grand and a Burger Productions, a New York City Theatre company he founded. The company will hold its first New Plays Festival this coming November. The company's goal is to make the series a birthing ground for the next hit off-Broadway play and beyond.
