I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My name is Jeremy Gable. I write/direct/act in plays. I am the Artistic Director of the Hunger Artists Theatre Company in Orange County, California. I am engaged to a wonderful woman. I work a cubicle job. I used to live in Idaho. Now I live in Fullerton. That's the summary of nearly 25 years of existence.

My Interests



Playwriting, acting, directing, theatre management, independent film, visually rich movies, very physical tap dancing, geometric shapes, theme park rides, the ways in which our society has been crumbling (and has always been crumbling since society was formed), cartoons, non-autobiographical one-man shows, cotton pajama bottoms on women, the ways that different people use the English language, naps in my car, music that fills my head with beautiful sound, bare legs, either really shy or really outgoing people, self-referential things (so few things are aware of its own self), the lies and coverups of our current administration and past administrations, women that love women (I'm a guy, what do you expect?), airports, the look and sound of the ocean (I don't actually like to get in for fear of ruining it), pirates, con men, con pirates ("Avast thar, I'm gonna sell ye some real estate!"), the angles a female body can make (not in a sexual sense, but in a visual sense), silent comedy, glorious Technicolor musical numbers, minor chords and the 1930's period.
