Gab Reisman's plays explore the ways place writes itself on our bodies. Inherently queer, always political, and generally irreverent, her work examines what it means to sit on the doorstep of some big, uncertain change.
Besides her own work, 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 Fusebox, Clubbed Thumb, Page 73, 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, and New Victory Lab alum and a former NNPN Playwright in Residence. She has taught playwriting and theatre making at The University of California Riverside, The University of New Orleans, NYU, and UT Austin.
