Gabe Seplow (He/Him) is a director, writer, actor, designer, and deviser based in Chicago, IL. Holding a BFA in Contemporary Theatre from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Gabe's journey in the realm of theater has been a rich tapestry of exploration and growth. Gabe has developed a profound passion for what it means to be an artist who curates discovery and aims to fulfill the truth of the story. Creating an ensemble is something he has found great joy in figuring out— a skill he has refined through his curriculum, senior directing thesis, and the creation of his own theatre company, Those Assembled Theatre Co. In his time creating, Gabe has applied these ensemble-based practices to hone his artistic and directorial styles, gaining much influence from La MaMa, Chekhov, Anne Bogart, Grotowski, and Liz Lerman. Gabe currently serves as the Production Manager for Brightside Theater in Naperville, IL.

As a theatremaker, I strive to create works that challenge standards, provoke exploration of the human experience, and ignite emotions. I reject the confines of convention, embracing innovation and experimentation as essential instruments in creation. The theatre I make is a theatre that holds a space for a mosaic of diverse voices to converge to authentically mirror the tapestry of humankind. I seek to inspire empathy, spark dialogue, and leave an indelible imprint on the collective consciousness, moving the boundaries of the theatrical experience and reaffirming the enduring power of live performance.
