"I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being."
-Oscar Wilde

me, WHO AM I?

Hey there! My name is Gabe Borken, and I am a current Junior at Drake University pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in Directing. I am a Minnesota-based actor with experience working with professionals all across London, New York, and the midwestern U.S. Additionally, I have experience in playwriting, songwriting, directing, video editing/production, and more!

 

I am driven by the belief that the art of storytelling is what makes us human; it is what allows us to understand each other, and in turn, ourselves. Engaging with the world of storytelling can encourage us to keep learning & growing, even when we are at our lowest. By dedicating myself to creating and sharing stories, I hope to influence others to discover their own meaning in their lives, as I continue to explore mine.
