Gilbert D Sanchez

Gilbert was born and raised in the beautiful and sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico. His childhood was full of reading and singing which gave him a wild imagination.

As a child, he loved singing. His parents would sit him by the choir at Church so that he could belt his little curly head off. People would purposefully sit by him, and that was his first audience; he loved it. A few years later, the movie Selena came out and changed his life. He would often perform Selena karaoke at parties and family functions. Christmas wasn't Christmas until Gilbert sang something from Selena. From there, he starred in middle school musicals and that’s when he caught the acting bug.

Gilbert went on to major in theatre from the University of New Mexico where he graduated with honors in 2012. In college, he was fortunate to work on roles as Collins in Rent,and Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show. "Don't dream it, be it."

Gilbert currently lives in Harlem, New York and has worked with many theatre companies including The John W. Engaman, Astoria Performing Arts Center, The Westchester Broadway Theatre, and NYMF.
