SUPER CLAUDIO BROS. was presented as a part of the 2010 Capital Fringe Festival. The SOLD OUT performances earned the cast and creative team Best Musical of the Fringe!

"Bright as a pack of Skittles, loopy as a Looney Tunes cartoon, and jam-packed with sibling rivalry, and metaphysical angst... a great Fringe show with a solid score, loads of wry humor and a remarkable cast." - DC Theater Scene

Editor's Pick: "surprisingly polished, extraordinarily clever." - Washington Post

"A fully imagined, well-realized piece of work about love, death, and stomping on fungi." - City Paper

"Laughs at every turn!" - DCist

How lucky I am to work in this community! That's why I wrote to Travel and Leisure magazine to rebuke their listing of DC as the 8th best theatre city in the US. Click here to read the letter!

One of the most satisfying theatre experiences I've recently been blessed with was playing Lenora in God's Ear at Rep Stage, directed by Kasi Campbell. So I was delighted when I saw my face on their '09/'10 season announcement.

Gia presented Outstanding Director, Resident Play at the 25th Anniversary Helen Hayes Awards Ceremony held on Monday, April 13, 2009 at The Warner Theatre and JW Marriott Hotel.

She wore a couture gown courtesy of Daniela and Michaela of Green and Blue, located in Dupont Circle. Thanks, ladies!

It was a delight to serve as Gillian Lynne's dance captain and Rene Auberjonois's daughter in this rarely seen production, complete with the original opera, dance, and commedia dell'arte interludes that Louis XIV enjoyed during his reign as the Sun King. The show drew sold out crowds to Shakespeare Theatre Company's Landsburgh stage during summer 2008.

“Gia Mora is a complete delight as Argan’s eldest daughter Angelique.”--Potomac Stages

A "homegrown Carol" and world premiere musical at Arena Stage, winter 2007. I loved being dance captain in this swingin' show!

"Stunning, gorgeous Gia Mora brings heart to the show by knocking the socks out of 'Heroes of the Homefront.' She has that unique ability to grab an audience and not let go for the entire production. What great performances she gave this year! And here, at 'Christmas Carol 1941,' Gia, again, brings warmth and humor to a small role and does big things with it."--DC Theatre Reviews, Scene Stealers, 2006/2007
