All About Mr. Gorski...
Jamie Gorski was born and raised in Eagle River, Alaska. Aside from being a family man, Gorski has devoted his entire life to theatre and teaching. Throughout his childhood and adolescent years, he trained in summer theater conservatories and went on both domestic and international play tours. In the spring of 1998, Gorski auditioned and was accepted as a performance major at the University of Evansville, Indiana. Throughout college, he played many roles on stage, which included contemporary, classical, and musical productions. He spent a semester abroad studying British History, Classical Theatre, and Shakespeare at the Harlaxton College in Grantham, England. In addition to his collegial studies, Jamie worked as an actor in repertory theatres during the summer months. After undergrad, Gorski took a break from the theatre world to pursue his second passion of teaching. He started teaching middle school and high school English in North Carolina. In 2007, he got his masters degree at Elon University and also started writing children’s theater plays. Jamie currently has plays published with Playscripts, Inc. in New York, and his plays have been performed in 26 different states as well as Canada. In 2008, Gorski started an after school theater program for middle school students in Hillsborough, NC.
