Michael Skrzek
as Gabe
Michael could not be more excited to work with STW on this timely and important show. A Worcester native, Michael is ecstatic that the local theatre scene is on the rise and is proud to have been a big part of it. Next to Normal will mark his 5th post-pandemic production in the city, having appeared in Fun Home (WCLOC), A Christmas Carol (Hanover Theatre), Admissions (WCLOC), and Julius Caesar (THT Rep). Pre-pandemic, Michael enjoyed performing with Disney and Norwegian cruise lines, as well as numerous regional productions including Swan Lake in Blue (Greater Boston Stage Co), Singin’ in the Rain (Theatre By the Sea), Oklahoma! (Candlelight Pavilion), and Mary Poppins (The Grove Theatre), the latter of which won him the 2016 Los Angeles Scenie Award for Breakthrough Star of the Year. Much love to his family and the local theatre community who have had his back through these crazy times. Shout out to the Glazy Susan gang, and cheers to 300 years of Worcester!
