Georgia Gabriele (she/her) is a Brooklyn based queer theatre maker, born and raised on the Upper West Side of NYC. She began her performance education as a vocal major at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts. She continued on to Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, pursuing a Bachelor’s of Music in Vocal Performance, with the intention of moving towards a career in opera. By the time she graduated in 2013, she knew that the opera world was not for her, and took a handful of years away from the stage, during which she became a 500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher and managed a yoga studio in Bloomington, Indiana. It wasn’t long before the need to create theatre overtook the need to do a chaturanga, and she began her involvement in community theatre in Bloomington. She moved back to NYC in 2017 to attend Atlantic Acting School’s Full Time Conservatory Program. Graduating at the end of 2019, she became a founding member of Bluebird Theatre Company, and served as their Director of Development from it’s inception until August 2021. Georgia has worked closely with SITI Company since 2018 and is a SITI Company Alumni Ambassador for the 2023 year, incorporating the Suzuki and Viewpoints methods of actor training into all of her work and sharing the trainings with other artists and creatives.
Despite what the nose ring and tattoos would imply, Georgia’s favorite playwrights are Shakespeare, Chekhov, Ibsen, and Euripides. She’s incredibly passionate about pushing the boundaries of “traditional” theatre with things like gender bending, making everything and everyone gay, and using tried and true stories to speak directly to our modern political and social climate. Georgia’s passion for performance is only second to her love of being a mother to her daughter, Maeve, and her step-daughter, Marlo. Her partner Anthony is her biggest fan and supporter and she wouldn’t be the woman and artist she is today without him.
