SPOTLIGHT on . . .
GABRIELLE LEWIS as “Babette” With Daniel Smith and Helene Reeser in FOLLIES
A
FTER AN EXTENDED HIATUS from theatre, Gabrielle is thrilled to be back on stage in such a fun and saucy role! She was last seen on the Genesius stage six years ago as the “disarming Alice Ayers” in Closer, after previously portraying the Kennedy-obsessed “Jackie-O” in RCP’s production of House of Yes. Other favorite roles include “Velma” in West Side Story and “Patty Simcox” in Grease. A thespian since the tender age of four, Gabrielle has worked at many local theatres over the past two decades. This February, she will be right back on this very stage in her dream role of “Ilse” in Spring Awakening. 2

S A NURSING STUDENT AND THE mother of a busy three-year-old, “free time” is a bit of a foreign concept to Gabrielle! When she does get a few precious moments of down time, Gabrielle enjoys going on little adventures with her daughter, Elliott, or snuggling at home with her three cats—Peter, Voodoo, and Felix. She also enjoys dining out with her beautiful girlfriend, Tanya, going dancing with her crazy crew of friends, and singing at local open mics. 3
