“Gail Payne deftly brings the role of a fighter pilot to life with razor-sharp clarity, physical and vocal dexterity, and complete commitment. Her performance from start to finish is mesmerizing and gives incredible insight into the complicated life of a fighter pilot.
This performance will stay with me for a long time.”

Chair, Butler University Theatre Department

“Gail brings her energy and commitment to opening up the play [GROUNDED] so that audiences are taken on a thought-provoking journey.”
Bill Simmons, Artistic Director, Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre

“Gail is a natural storyteller, with great instincts for finding the arc of conveying the tale of someone such as Edith Piaf or Johnny Mercer.”
