Gail tried many paths before giving into her passion to be a pro performer: PR consultant, $MM fundraiser, yoga studio owner, stay-at-home-step-mom, cabaret chanteuse. Now, it all informs her characters’ lives. She loves playing underestimated fighters with guarded vulnerability. Favorite roles: TRACEY in Sweat, PILOT in Grounded, and a few juicy roles in award-winning indies. She’d LOVE to play a long-lost cousin on Succession, FRANCESCA in Bridges of Madison County, and BAKER’S WIFE/anything Sondheim.
