’GABRIEL’ is the daunting drama now playing at North Coast Repertory in Solano Beach. It is superbly directed by Christopher Williams. An accomplished actor as well, he truly works magic with this cast leading them in the right direction. A note to the many sponsors who supported this cast. Thank You. It was an investment. Another success by the house of North Coast Repertory.
