bio:

Gab Reisman's plays, TV writing, and screenplays explore how place writes itself on our bodies- examining the connections between geography, history, and identity. Inherently queer and keenly irreverent her work looks at what it means to live on the continual precipice of chaos.

Besides her own writing, Gab builds immersive and devised performances in non-traditional spaces, most recently with utopia-based trio Bender/Mars/Reisman, and her own incubator Brooklyn Yard.

Gab has developed work with Clubbed Thumb, Page 73, Fusebox, Sundance Theatre Lab, and the Playwrights' Center among others. She's received commissions from the Humana Festival of New Plays, EST/Sloan Project, the NOLA Project, New Plays at Barnard, Clubbed Thumb, and ZACH Theatre.

Gab is a MacDowell Fellow, an Orchard Project, Ingram New Works, Page 73 Writers Group, and New Victory Lab alum and a former NNPN Playwright in Residence. Her plays Spindle Shuttle Needle and Catch the Wall have appeared on multiple Kilroys Lists and won the Holland New Voices Award. Gab has taught playwriting and theatre making at UC Riverside, the University of New Orleans, and NYU. MFA: UT Austin

She currently teaches at Stony Brook University and is developing an absolutely delightful rom-com about lesbian vampires in New Orleans.
