Hi there, I'm Gabbi!
I am a musical theater aficionado and a passionate storyteller who adores intense scene study and dancing an 8 minute number.
I feel most at home in live performance and have become a regular performer at 54 Below, Don't Tell Mamas and Bar9 and I am thrilled to be debuting my own work at 54 Below on May 29th alongside my collaborator and friend Finnigan B. Faye as apart of their songwriting collection! This change to singing my own music instead of singles and demos for up and coming musical theater composers is so exciting and nerve wracking and I can not wait to continue to do both!
​
I have always dreamed of participating in new works and workshops and this is what I continue finding myself doing! I look forward to seeing where these projects take me as well as doing upcoming work by famous composers like Dave Malloy and Sondheim who I have idolized for years.
​
I am always down for a latte and a work day, taking a long bike ride, reading a good book, or upcycling my latest thrift find. My goal in theatre and in life is to build joy, inclusion, intersectionality and collaboration through my art! Please click around and get to know me!
