The Seagull Project
Artistic Director
Gavin Reub has been the Artistic Director of The Seagull Project since 2013. He has worked with the company as a director, producer, and dramaturg.
The Seagull Project employs a dedicated ensemble, top-notch design team, and a celebrated director, to produce Anton Chekhov’s four major plays, and to maintain them in an ongoing repertory, continuously digging further into the language and depth of his characters, themes and world; while molding it into something specific to the project and community. Simultaneously, TSP develops micro-projects with local communities of various disciplines to develop a greater perspective to the work, while introducing Seattle to Chekhov and TSP, through a unique form of artistic research. Utilizing this model, TSP develops as much art around the subject at hand as possible, while affecting the community in diverse and meaningful ways.
Gavin Reub oversees all artistic planning, development, and implementation for TSP. He designs their extended workshops, educational program, auxiliary programming, and works to develop relations domestic and international. He was recognized with a Gregory Award for Outstanding Production for The Three Sisters in 2015. He played an integral in the design and production of TSP’s historic trip to Tashkent Uzbekistan, as part of the Festival of American Culture. There, TSP spent three weeks leading workshops, producing new American works, as well as their production of The Seagull. They were the first American company to produce at the historic Ilkhom Theatre, a historic trip that Gavin wrote about in the September 2014 issue of American Theatre Magazine.
