He also thanks the cast and crew for their energy, enthusiasm and talent. He occasionally directs elsewhere, including recent productions of Children of Eden and The Drowsy Chaperone at The Dramateurs at the Barn Playhouse in Jeffersonville. By day, Paul works as a civil litigation attorney in Abington and is affiliated with Pennsylvania's Young Lawyer's Association.

A few of these include, performing with the Rockettes at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, meetings with Cary Grant and Walt Disney, and Dance Directorship at Cabrini College. Additionally, last season at ‘Forge Theatre’, she choreographed the highly successful production of the musical “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and this season has just completed a successful run of the musical “The 1940’s Radio Hour”. A veteran choreographer, Gail has designed dance numbers for over 90 musical productions across Pennsylvania and New York.

Having worked with five high school districts in this area, she has particularly enjoyed choreographing Devon Prep School’s musicals for over the past 18 years. According to critics, Gail has become synonymous with theater dance excellence. Thanks Devon!
