Nadia Bowers is an actor and author originally from Branford, CT. New York City has been her home since 1997. She has a B.A in Sociology and French from Dartmouth College and an M.F.A in Acting from NYU’s Graduate Acting Program. For over twenty-five years, she has performed in theater on and off Broadway, regionally, and in film and television. She has been writing throughout her life and her acting career. In 2003, she wrote and performed a one-woman show at the NYC Fringe Festival, but it was her piece, Dear Dealer, from where the book originates, first airing on This American Life in 2018, that has allowed her to share her work more widely.

Dear Dealer is her first book. She sees her work as an actor and as a writer as informing and in communication with one another, endlessly intrigued by these different ways of storytelling. 

She lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband, actor Corey Stoll, and their son. 

Nadia Bowers is an actor and author originally from Branford, CT. New York City has been her home since 1997. She has a B.A in Sociology and French from Dartmouth College, graduating with honors for her thesis paper, “Volunteerism as a Means for Social Control on the Axes of Class and Gender,” and an M.F.A in Acting from NYU’s Graduate Acting Program. For over twenty-five years, she has performed in theater on and off Broadway, regionally, and in film and television. She has been writing throughout her life and her acting career. In 2003, she wrote and performed a one-woman show at the NYC Fringe Festival, but it was her piece, Dear Dealer, from where the book originates, first airing on This American Life in 2018, that has allowed her to share her work more widely.

A version of her original Dear Dealer piece was also published in Time online. She has been a resident at Space on Ryder Farm and has attended the Sirenland Writer’s Conference.

Dear Dealer is Nadia’s first book. She sees her work as an actor and writer stemming from the same questions and the same deep faith in the power of stories. Her degree in sociology stemmed from a desire to understand societies and our roles within them, how and why we behave as we do individually and collectively. These interests have continued to inform her work. 

When Nadia’s not acting or sitting writing or reading, she needs to be moving. Dancing since she was young, it remains a necessity. She grew up around water and was once a competitive swimmer; she must get in water whenever possible. She considers herself a very skilled boogie boarder. She has a small herbal medicine apothecary at home. She has studied Sufism for years, and whirls whenever she can.  You may find her taking pictures of “dead umbrellas” on the streets of NYC during a rainstorm, an obsession spanning decades.
