About the Director

Louis Gibilisco has done a lot of “stuff” as a performer and teacher, but he is most proud of his accomplishments as a husband and father. For the past 30 years, Mr. G has been privileged to be the Director of the Performing Arts Department at Notre Dame High School. He feels honored to have his wife, Debby, as choreographer with him every step of the way.

The G’s take pride in watching all of Notre Dame’s Performing Arts programs grow and flourish, and have flourished a little themselves with their greatest productions: Gigi, Jaime, and Jenna.

From the Gibilisco Family to yours, God Bless, enjoy the show, and a BIG thank you to all of our alumni who have been part of the Performing Arts Program over the last 30 years. We love and appreciate all of you!
