Gabriela Tovar (they/she/he) is an emerging playwright currently based in the Boston and New York areas. They also enjoy directing and working with movement! According to urban legend, Gaby has been reading and writing since before they could speak... Obviously, this is not true, but they have been writing for quite a long time. Currently, they just closed a production of their last show 'I Wish You Would Come Back’ for the Queens Short Play Festival; And they are so excited to share with you ‘Without Color’. Like most playwrights, they are hoping to use their love of words for change. As a queer bipoc writer, they didn't grow up with a lot of characters like them in mainstream media, including on the stages they fell in love with. They desire to create work for others who maybe haven't gotten the opportunity to envision themselves as a main character yet.
