ACTOR/SINGER/DANCER/PLAY-WRITE

Hi! I'm Gideon Klapow - A New York based actor and student at Neighborhood Playhouse.

Originally from Sacramento, CA, I trained rigorously in musical theatre at KD studios and The Neighborhood Playhouse School for the Theatre. I am a 7 year voice student currently working with Kate Chaston And a student at Northern California alifornia Dance Conservatory from 2016-2021 with a focus in ballet. 

Come check me out in "Funeral for a Dog" a new musical by Miller and Harlow where I play a 17 year old adjusting to a new life in the country. Its a moving comedic musical with a concept that will keep you on your toes and no spoilers but. . . a dog dies. Coming to the Edinburgh Fringe 2024. 
 
Regionally, I've worked as Les in "Newsies" and Michael in "Billy Elliot" at Woodminster Theater in Oakland, CA.
 
Most recently I made my off-broadway and New York City debut in a workshop of a new play about becoming a man told through the lens of 7 highschool wresltlers Called "Sprawl" by Michael Ronca. Ronca wrote a character perfect for me and I couldn't have asked for a better cast to introduce me to New York theatre. See my "Sprawl" Reel below.

As a writer, I wrote and acted in "Dinosaurs and Bumblebees" produced by BraveMaker Films.  In addition, I have recently co-written and co-produced the original stage play "When I Say I Love You." Both can be viewed on youtube and a link is attached below. 
 
As a dancer, as part of a contemporary ballet duet, I was selected 3rd place in SF Regional for Youth America Grand Prix and overall winner of California Dance Classics in my age group.
