Gab Reisman in a NYC based playwright and immersive performance maker with a history of making theatre in non-traditional spaces. Her playwriting explores the relationship between cultural geography and individual identify- the ways place writes itself on our bodies. Her plays consistently queer time and space, sometimes using history as a prism to expose our current zeitgeists. Interested in the liminal, and irreverently political, she examines what it means to sit on the doorstep of some big, unstoppable, uncertain change.

Gab has been developed, produced, or commissioned by Clubbed Thumb/Playwrights Horizons, Page 73, Barnard College, Great Plains Theatre Conference, Sundance Theatre Lab, Ingram New Works Lab, ZACH Theatre, The Orchard Project, The NOLA Project, EST/Sloan Project and various other projects.

She was an NNPN Playwright in Residence at Southern Rep and a is MacDowell Colony alum. Gab has taught playwriting and theatre making in places like Vanderbilt, UT Austin, and New Orleans’s public schools. Her plays have received a Rosa Parks Award from The Kennedy Center, the Holland New Voices Award, and appeared on the inaugural Kilroys List. She is a Core Writer at the Playwrights Center and a New Georges affiliated artist.

Gab received a BA from The University of New Orleans and MFA from The University of Texas at Austin. Her first four full lengths are published in the anthology More Pepper by Hot Lead Press.

Gab is currently working on a commission about Grimm's-tinged women's work in the Napoleonic Wars. She is inspired daily by liminality, language, and acts of resistance.
