GableStage Theatre Company is thrilled to announce Luis Diaz, as the second Dave Coulson Education Fellow. This newly established position celebrates the life and legacy of beloved trustee David Coulson, whose vision and generosity helped shape South Florida’s arts community.
A Miami-born actor and valued GableStage company member whose curiosity, artistry, and collaborative spirit exemplify the qualities Dave held dear.
Now in his fifth season at GableStage, Luis is a beloved and essential team member. Starting as a part-time associate, he quickly distinguished himself through his warmth, reliability, and willingness to step in wherever needed. As his responsibilities grew, Luis was promoted to Box Office Assistant Manager, becoming an important
part of GableStage’s day-to-day operations.
Luis has also starred in GableStage’s award-winning Shakespeare-in-the-Schools touring program and in GableStage’s newest initiative,
A Dose of Fun: The Wonder Show! where he has expanded his work to include puppetry and performance in pediatric and clinical settings.
An actor, singer, and puppeteer, Luis embodies the versatile theatre artist: curious, adaptable, and eager to grow. A graduate of Florida International University with a BFA in Performance, his dedication to GableStage and commitment to continued learning make him a fitting recipient of this year’s fellowship and a reflection of Dave’s belief in nurturing the next generation of theatre artists.
Your support honors his spirit of generosity and mentorship while empowering the next generation of theatre-makers.
