GIG has officially closed, and we send our heartfelt appreciation to the friends, supporters, audiences, and team members who shared the journey with us. From 2013 to 2023, we produced 12 staged productions to strong reviews, earned recognition in local press for shows like “Greetings,” and created a series of short films and videos along the way. Several of our films became finalists in competitions, and our short film “Torn” earned the Best Writing award in the 2019 100 Hour Film Race.
More important than awards were the friendships formed, the stories told, the charities supported, and the moments that stayed with cast, crew, and audiences long after the curtain closed. This website remains as a time capsule of that decade of creativity. Those who were part of GIG have moved forward in new directions, carrying the same passion for acting and storytelling into fresh projects and collaborations that continue to show how meaningful it is to tell good stories and make real connections.
