Gabe is an Italian-American director and actor who spent his life growing up in South Florida and Northern Italy. As the son of two writers who taught him to approach life as a creator, art and literature have been consistently present in his life since childhood.
For high school, he attended the A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida where he studied acting while simultaneously gaining experience in technical theatre, dramaturgy, stage management, arts administration and, most significantly, directing.
Now, in his third year at UNCSA, he is pursuing a B.F.A. in Directing. He is interested in challenging the norms of traditional theatre and re-envisioning work alongside multi-hyphenated artists with an openness to collaborate.
He values boldness, provocation, and experimentation. To quote the great late Robert Mapplethorpe, “I’m looking for the unexpected. I’m looking for things I’ve never seen before.” His work aims to stare life right in the eye…and wink.
This semester, he directed Theresa Rebeck’s Seminar and is currently directing Nelly E. Quellar-Garcia’s adaptation of Medea by Euripides.
