ACTRESS, DIRECTOR & PLAYWRIGHT
THERESA GAMBACORTA
OVERALL EXCELLENCE IN SOLO PERFORMANCE
AT 2011 NYC FRINGE FESTIVAL
"BE CAREFUL! THE SHARKS WILL EAT YOU!" starring JAY ALVAREZ
"Theresa in a rehearsal room is a force to be reckoned with and the best thing is she's on your side! She's genuinely interested in helping bring out people's stories and their specific talent and steers away from the "stand here, say this and do something with your hands" approach. She's loving, patient, will call you out when you're stalling or getting lazy. There is no "stuck" or "writer's block" with Theresa, she guides you through the writing, helps you refine the story you want to tell, believes in you enough so that you start believing in yourself. When it comes to directing she's quick, inventive and knows what hooks an audience. She's a treasure."- MARLENE NICHOLS
playwright/performer "DRESS KISS ME" & "JUST BACK FROM DREAMING"
"I brought Theresa Gambacorta my play Be Careful! The Sharks Will Eat You! and she gave me back a moving piece of Theatre. Theresa for me has one of the greatest gifts that any director could have and that is the ability to speak an actors language."-
JAY ALVAREZ
playwright/performer "BE CAREFUL! THE SHARKS WILL EAT YOU!
Theresa Gambacorta was instrumental in helping me write "Emergency Used Candles." She helped me pour through years of writings and structure them into the framework for my play.Then, with her guidance, I worked on my feet, in character, to create new scenes. With Theresa, I felt completely safe and free to explore. I knew I was in the hands of an extremely talented and wonderful person. Theresa's way of helping me to see added layers and clarity in my own story id beyond compare. There is no way I would be where I am with my play- approaching a full production this fall- without her. She is a gem." CHIARA MONTALTO
Theresa is available for a creative consultation in person or via telephone.
She works one on one with a performer/writer but is delighted to announce an upcoming solo workshop. Stay tuned for futher information.
