Nathan Gunn is widely acclaimed for his diverse performing career bridging the genres of opera, musical theatre, and recital. Gunn grew up right here in South Bend, Indiana, doing what most Midwestern boys do: playing sports, working hard at school, and spending time with his family.
He discovered a passion for music and theatre, starting with roles in school productions. With a lot of hard work, his voice has taken him around the world.
The South Bend Civic Theatre is pleased to present two opportunities to witness Gunn's sensational and commanding voice and stage presence.
Tune in on July 25 to stream a live performance by Gunn, accompanied by wife Julie Gunn, for LIGHTS UP!, a cabaret-style celebration of the arts.
Nathan and Julie will return to the CIVIC stage July 30-Aug 2 to bring their original "Shelter in Place: A Living Room Vaudeville."

If you've got to shelter in place, you might as well find some humor in it -- and Nathan and Julie Gunn can help with that. Nathan, a world-renowned operatic baritone, and Julie, a gifted pianist and musical director, will bring their original cabaret performance to the South Bend Civic Theatre stage. Shelter in Place is a little bit of vaudeville, a little bit of improv, and exactly the kind of entertainment we all need right now.
