About Us
Bennett Gale
Executive Director/Artistic Director
Growing up in the shadows of Manhattan, Bennett’s favorite childhood memories are his parents taking him to great shows in all the performing arts. “The love for theatre is part of my DNA. There’s never been a time I can remember when creating great theatre in one form or another hasn’t been with me.”
He began as a musician, recording and performing across the U.S. and Canada. He has acted in dozens of plays in New York and California; ranging from Ringo in the Broadway production of Beatlemania, Artie Shaughnessey in House of Blue Leaves and recently Jim Casy in The Grapes of Wrath. In 2011 he created, wrote and performed several roles in a weekly internet program called Unconditional Reality – How to BE There from Here.
“It is a great privilege to be part of this unique ensemble, bringing theatre and all of its educational, transformative and creative potentials to our great county.
