Gio

Gio is a theatre-maker, storyteller, writer and dedicated friend of the universe that surrounds him. Born and raised a second-generation immigrant in Montréal/Tiohtià:ke, Québec, things have never gone the way he planned them to, but kindness, patience, and forgiveness have always made it work out in the end. He is a graduate of both John Abbott College’s Professional Theatre Acting Program (acquiring the Pamela Montgomery award which recognized his dedication and love of the craft) and Concordia University’s Performance Creation program and has deepened a childhood fascination for stories and the way we tell them. He has taken a particular interest in puppetry, mask work, acrobatics and silly voices as tools that stretch and warp his shape passed what seems possible.

Gio has craved being a dependable and caring portent of the arts wherever he may encounter them. He loves saying yes to too many projects at a time and his favourite place in the world is a buzzing rehearsal room among friends. As such, he has been working with theatres across the island of Montréal in all kinds of roles: interning with Infinithéatre and the Geordie Theatre School, house managing and bartending at the Segal Centre for the Performing Arts, being an Associate Artist on the board of directors with Starcatcher Productions, and even Assistant Producing the 2024 Montréal Fringe Festival. He is ecstatic to be embarking on his first out-of-school journey with the Geordie Theatre Company's 24/25 2Play Tour.
