posting by Andrew Gorell
Hi, six years after graduation, I'm feeling bold enough to let the University of Minnesota in on my progress as a theatre professional.
First of all, I have changed my professional name from the one I used as a student. I was Andrew Worm (graduated 1999) and now go by Andrew Gorell. Same person, different name.
I am currently on tour with Shenandoah Shakespeare's American Shakespeare Center playing Richard III in RICHARD III; Borachio, Friar Francis and Balthasar in MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING; and crewmember Eddie Setgo in RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET. I don't have to go into the American Shakespeare Center, as current faculty member Steve Cardamone is very familiar with the company. The closest we come to the Twin Cities is Fairmont, MN where we will perform RETURN TO THE FORBIDDEN PLANET on February 4th, 2006.
After graduating in 1999, I was an intern at the Milwaukee Rep for a year, moved to Chicago for two years and then to New York for three years before joining this company. My website, andrewgorell.com, has a more complete resume.
I hope that you will forward my regards to Dr. Kobialka, my advisor and the best history teacher ever; Stephen Kanee for casting me in my first mainstage production at the U; Steve Cardamone for helping to develop the company I'm currently working for; and everybody else that may remember my annoying tin whistle echoing off of the cement walls of the Rarig Center.
Thanks,
Andrew Gorell
