Gabby Wiatrak is a senior theatre design and production major, with an emphasis in stage management, at Shenandoah Conservatory. In the earlier years of her college career, she primarily worked on the stage management teams for musicals/straight plays such as Dracula, Sweet Charity, The Apple Tree, and Into the Woods. It wasn’t until junior year when she got the opportunity to serve as production stage manager of Moscow, Cheryomushki that her love for opera bloomed. She couldn’t be more proud to present Acis and Galatea to conservatories in Portugal, Spain, and the United States. She would love to thank her family, friends, this cast/crew, and Ella Marchment for allowing her the opportunity to fall in love.
