When the Hurrah Players latest production opens March 20, Gabe Aviles and his son Nick will be center stage as featured performers. Nick has been active with Hurrah since middle school, recently having performed in High School Musical, Seussical and Holidays In Virginia.
Gabe, on the other hand, is making his Hurrah debut. Married, the father of three sons, and a career with UPS, this is Gabe's return to the stage after twenty-six years. While at Old Dominion University, he performed in a production of The Patriots with the Norfolk Little Theatre. In High School he was active in the theatre program and performed in The Music Man, Harvey and Hello Dolly. Although married life and his career up until now have taken him away from the theatre, Gabe has taken time to appear in two Pepsi commercials which were marketed in Latin America.
"It is a pleasure to watch Gabe and Nick help each other in rehearsals and to see what a strong bond they share for each other and for performing" states Hurrah director Hugh Copeland.
HONK! TCC Roper Performing Arts Center, 340 Granby Street, Norfolk, 23510. March 20-22 and March 27-29. Tickets call 627-5437
