”NORTH POLE NOIR” by Patrick Gabridge

I’ve written numerous plays, including Drift, Mox Nox, Lab Rats, Blood on the Snow, Distant Neighbors, Chore Monkeys, Constant State of Panic, Blinders, and Reading the Mind of God, and have been staged by theatres across the country. I've been a Playwriting Fellow with the Huntington Theatre Company and with New Rep and have received fellowships from the Boston Foundation and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. My short plays are published by Playscripts, Brooklyn Publishers, Heuer, Smith & Kraus, Stage Rights, and YouthPlays, and have received more than 1,000 productions from theatres and schools around the world. I was the artist-in-residence at Mt. Auburn Cemetery for 2018-19, where I developed and produced two series of site-specific plays, The America Plays and The Nature Plays, as well as Moonlight Abolitionists (a site-specific play designed to be read under the full moon).

I'm also the author of four novels, The Secret of Spirit Lake, Steering to Freedom, Tornado Siren and Moving (a life in boxes). My work for radio has been broadcast and produced by NPR, Shoestring Radio Theatre, Playing on Air, and Icebox Radio Theatre.

I have a habit of starting things: I helped start Boston’s Rhombus Playwrights writers’ group, the Chameleon Stage theatre company in Denver, the Bare Bones Theatre company in New York, the publication Market InSight… for Playwrights, the on-line Playwrights’ Submission Binge, and the New England New Play Alliance.

Hi! I’m Robb Smith, a voice actor in North Augusta, South Carolina.

I really believe in the power of storytelling and that the stories that connect the most are the ones that feel like they’re being told just to you.

My background winds through radio, TV, stage performance, audio engineering, and corporate creative work, all of which taught me the same truth: a good story needs a good heart behind it. It’s what I bring to every project, whether it’s a commercial, an audio drama, a video game character, or a moment of quiet narration that helps someone breathe a little easier.

I love giving scripts life, humor, and humanity. And I’m always grateful for the chance to help a story land in a way that feels true.
