MY STORY
Gaby is a director, dramaturg, teacher, and storyteller from Santiago de Cuba and Houston, TX. She found comfort in the theatre when she moved from Cuba to Houston, Texas in 2011. Theatre helped her learn a new language and become aquatinted with a foreign world. Now, she wants to share the gift of theatre with others that have never been exposed to it . From plays to musicals, she is constantly searching for stories that represent and invite our community to the theatre.
