When Gabe and I met is a little unclear to us. It was most likely during a meeting with the Cochise Art Club. I was trying to dig up students to audition for Measure for Measure that I was planning on directing during the Spring semester 2018.
I had seen him act in The Glass Menagerie at a local community theatre and thought he would be perfect to play Angelo the play’s villain. I was extremely happy that he decided to audition. I hope you enjoy my conversation with him as much as I did.
Gabe grew up in Honduras until he was in second grade. The family moved to Sierra Vista, Arizona where he lives still.
Because of his father’s stories, Gabe became attached to storytelling. He attended Northern Arizona University studying film. He is now a Brazilian American Actor working in productions in Tucson, Bisbee, and Sierra Vista.
He was also an actor in the Tombstone, Arizona reenactments of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral for a time. Gabe also performs with the Whiz Bang Chick’n Plucked Skiffle Band, a local group in which he plays the tub base.
When the pandemic is over, he plans to go back to acting and playing in the band.
