Gabe’s first experience with actOUT! has been an absolutely positively amazing one! He has found his passion and in his own words, “I have finally found somewhere where I feel I really fit in.” Those words struck a cord in my heart and I owe it all to the wonderful people and cast members at actOUT! Thank you.
