ABOUT ME!

Hey there! My name is Jesse Gunnell (they/them), and I am a 20 year old Irish American performer based in the New York Metropolitan Area. I come from a small town on Long Island called Kings Park, and grew up taking the train into the city to see shows with my family. My dad worked for the Long Island Railroad, so free train rides of course made going to the city to see a show more enticing. While my love for theatricality grew throughout my upbringing, so did my passion for other artistic mediums.

Outside of performing, I love visual arts as well. Over the years, I found myself sketching, drawing, and painting on whatever medium was available to me. From digital art to traditional paint on a canvas- I loved it all. As I became older, I found ways to incorporate my artistic tendencies into my life through other means. This is when I started to love the art of graphic design. Logos, show posters, social media graphics, you name it. I was able to unexpectedly intertwine my two greatest loves through a Canva Pro Subscription.

I like to think all of these artistic tendencies of mine come together to explain my favorite part of the theatre- to create. Directing, producing, and dramaturgy are all things that I adore. As I grow into a performer after all of these years of watching the world of professional performances from the outside in, I’m finding new and exciting ways to do what I love most. To create.
