Jeremy Gable

Jeremy Joseph Gable (born May 10, 1982) is an American playwright and game designer living in Philadelphia.

Early life

Gable was born in Lakenheath, Suffolk, England. He grew up in Post Falls, Idaho, then moved to Barstow, California after graduation.

Career

In July 2006, Gable wrote and produced Giant Green Lizard! The Musical, a musical parody of the Japanese monster movies from the 1950s, for the Maverick Theater Company in Fullerton, California. The show received a positive notice in the entertainment trade BackStage West, particularly noting its "inventive score" and "off-kilter sensibility".

Gable served as Artistic Director of the Hunger Artists Theatre Company from December 2006 to April 2009 where he directed the Orange County premieres of Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis and Bryony Lavery's Frozen, as well as writing the Flying Spaghetti Monster plays, which were covered by the official Flying Spaghetti Monster website. He also wrote American Way, which made its premiere at Los Angeles' Blank Theatre, - and 140: A Twitter Performance, the first documented full-length fully original Twitter play. He was named "one of Orange County's most genuinely innovative theatrical minds" by OC Weekly and called "one of O.C.'s more fertile theatrical minds" by the Orange County Register.

After moving to Philadelphia, Gable wrote another Twitter play, The 15th Line, as well as the stage plays D-Pad, which was a finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference, and Go Ahead, which was presented at the National New Play Network's National Showcase of New Plays.

In 2018, Gable adapted his play Watch Me Jump into a video game, which was made available for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. The game was nominated for an Independent Games Festival Award for Excellence in Narrative.

Gable is a co-founder of the feminist performance platform Ninth Planet.

2020 presidential campaign

In 2015, Gable submitted paperwork declaring an Independent presidential run in 2020. He terminated his candidacy in 2017.
