Who Am I?
.jpg)
My name is Gabriel Manuel Burdette, I am an NYC based performer represented by The Hell's Kitchen Agency.
I most recently was on tour with The Rev, playing Chen in The Magic Paintbrush and bringing a little magic to schools across Central New York.
When I’m not onstage, I’m in the wings - finessing quick changes, curating the perfect dressing room playlist, or cheering on my young performers.​​​​​
Where You'll Find Me
​​​​​​I’m a Milwaukee-based theatre artist with experience onstage, backstage, and in classrooms from Wisconsin to New York. I’ve performed with companies across the country, including Skylight Music Theatre, The Rev, and Little Theatre on the Square. Whether I’m leading a show, understudying too many roles, or touring to schools, I bring everything I’ve got. (Literally- I pack my car up and road trip to the next gig)
I’ve served as a Lead Wardrobe Technician on productions like Chicago and Legally Blonde at Interlakes Summer Theatre, and recently worked as a Young Performer Supervisor for Oliver! at Skylight Music Theatre. And most recently teaching and performing in a 30 minute pre-performance workshop on tour with The Rev!
I’ve had the honor of mentoring and teaching students through theatre programs across Wisconsin and New York. From leading workshops with Skylight Music Theatre to choreographing a for Award Winning High School, I create supportive environments where kids can take risks, build confidence, and thrive.
I’m always excited to return to student-focused work—it reminds me why I fell in love with theatre in the first place. It’s changed my life and I know it can happen for others.
