GORDON McCONNELL (Ray) arrived in South Florida 20 years ago after spending two seasons at New York's acclaimed Mirror Repertory Theatre with such distinguished giants of the American Theatre as Ann Jackson, F. Murray Abraham, Michael Moriarty, John Strassburg, and the immortal Geraldine Page, among others. Florida audiences first saw Gordon in Beirut, an early exploration of the AIDS crisis, at Actor's Rep in West Palm Beach. He went on to act at Florida Rep, Theatre Club of the Palm Beaches (now Florida Stage), Caldwell Theatre, American Stage (St. Petersburg, FL) Actors' Playhouse, Flat Rock (North Carolina), and GableStage. Gordon also appeared in various roles on Miami Vice. He has received the Carbonell Award for Best Actor for his performance in Frozen here at GableStage and Best Actor nomination for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at Palm Beach Dramaworks. Gordon lives in Lake Worth with his wife Nancy Barnett and their son Hunter, and is a proud member of Actors' Equity Association. Gordon is very excited to be returning to GableStage and thanks you all for supporting live theatre.
