My Story

My name is Gavin! I'm an actor/writer/sm and most recently a theater company founder! I grew up in Los Angeles before moving to Chicago for school. I spent 8 years immersed in the storefront and new works scene in Chicago before coming back to LA in 2021. I believe in (1) sincerity and meaningful connection; (2) transparency as we try to be more conscientious of how administrative power structures affect artistic practice; (3) that art is not inherently activism and that it is our responsibility to do both; (4) diversity should be a standard, not an achievement; (5) that the base minimum of treating our artists with respect and valuing their work accordingly still has yet to be achieved by most of American theater on all levels of professionalism. The trajectory of my lifelong mission is to found a theater company that can abide by these ideals and provide an alternative to the capitalistic and unjust Broadway culture that has come to define American theater. Hope you'll join me!

Gender Identity
iOne’s internal, deeply held sense of gender. Some people identify completely with the gender they were assigned at birth (usually male or female), while others may identify with only a part of that gender, or not at all. Some people identify with another gender entirely. Unlike gender expression, gender identity is not visible to others.

non-binary

Race/Ethnicity
iRacial identity is the qualitative meaning one ascribes to one’s racial group, whereas ethnic identity is a concept that refers to one’s sense of self as a member of an ethnic group. At their core, both constructs reflect an individual’s sense of self as a member of a group; however, racial identity integrates the impact of race and related factors, while ethnic identity is focused on ethnic and cultural factors. We celebrate our Keys’ intersectionality and understand that creating one’s racial/ethnic identity is a fluid and nonlinear process that varies for every person. Many folks will identify with more than one background while others will identify with a single group more broadly.
