Announcements:
Gina's play The Colony was a winner of American Stage's 21st Century Voices: New Play Festival. Gina was in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida this January for the festival.
It was an honor to be nominated for the 2019 Mentor Project, Cherry Lane Theatre's OBIE Award-winning program.
The Colony received a workshop production November 16 & 17 at DCTV in Manhattan, as part of the Joust Theatre Company's Writers Round Table.
Out of 650 submissions, The Colony was one of 10 to advance to the semifinals for the Austin Film Festival's Playwriting Competition. At the festival, Gina made it to the finals in their annual Pitch Competition.
School's out! Gina has officially finished her grad school experience, and now holds an MFA in Playwriting from Columbia University! Woohoo!
