    Joshua Gelb

    Profile

    Joshua William Gelb is a multi-hyphenate theater maker, a director, performer, creative technologist, designer, and librettist. His work runs the gamut from devised physical theater to stylized adaptations of classics to new musicals and plays. During the Covid shut-down, Gelb founded Theater in Quarantine, a Drama League Award-winning performance laboratory dedicated to the exploration of live theater in the digital space. TiQ developed and live-streamed dozens of visually distinctive, original works to its YouTube channel, working out of a closet in the East Village measuring only 8 sq feet. Theater in Quarantine has been presented by La Mama, CultureHub, Theater Mitu, New Georges, The Invisible Dog Art Center, A2SF, Cultural DC, and most recently an in-person hybrid performance at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Theater in Quarantine has been featured on NPR's All Things Considered, Japan's NHK Television, and has been profiled in The New Yorker and The New York Times. Within a single year Theater in Quarantine has been a four-time New York Times Critic's Pick as well as one of Vulture’s “Top 10 Best Theater Moments of 2020” and the New York Times' "Best Theater of 2021."
