About Gay
The craft of acting is a noble one. For centuries, actors have told stories through the words of others. The trick is to make those words personal and impactful from your own unique perspective. Be it through "technique" or "method", it all fits into an actor's tool kit and from there any character can be empowered and come to life. Gay Storm at Hatbox Will Travel can help any actor create a tool box that will provide the building blocks for any character. She has been in the business for decades and performed on stage and television in New York and Los Angeles --- now she performs her own one-woman shows as iconic American women such as Mary Todd Lincoln, Clara Barton and even the Statue of Liberty. Monumental! Please visit Hatboxwilltravel.com to learn more.

I am happy to work with material brought in by the student or I can provide simple scenes or monologues. We start with the five basic questions: Who am I? Who am I speaking to? What do I what? What is in my way of getting what I want? How do I overcome the obstacle? From there we have fun exploring the possibilities.
Mainly young people fresh out of college but I love working with an older crowd because we have funnier stories and more life experience to draw from.
Be careful. Actors continually run the risk of being taken advantage of. Talk about having a dream! Young actors are especially vulnerable because they want success so badly. No reputable teacher will ask you to disrobe, provide questionable material or promise immediate success. Referrals are always the best way to go.
Playing the Statue of Liberty is lots of fun. I portray her as a French diva who is frustrated that nobody pays attention to her any more. Her arm is tired. She lights a cigarette with her torch and reflects on her glory days. She muses on The American Dream and wonders if it still exists. Slowly she realizes that she, indeed, is a symbol of the Dream and that as long as she stands with her torch held high, the Dream will survive. I performed in a park on the Fourth of July this year and had a fun time discussing the meaning of the American Dream with all the young children.
