New and undiscovered gems
An avid champion of new works, Gurgol has a real passion for new and undiscovered gems. New musicals were a cornerstone of his mission as Artistic Director of Kalliope Stage, directing five regional premieres, as well as the world premiere of Coming to America.
Some of his biggest box office successes have been 'under-loved' musicals he plucked from the past and charged with excitement. His recent production of Dear World was hailed by critics as the ideal production. He is an enthusiastic collaborator in the development of new shows.
