Adrian Gaston Garcia
(he/she/they)
Washington Improv TheaterAdrian Gaston Garcia (aka AGG) is a queer Latine storyteller whose mission is to create and share narratives that build community.
Adrian fuels his creativity via the performing arts, specifically theater, improv, and spoken word poetry. His work is largely based on his experiences and the intersectionality of his identities. It is a shout out to all the queer brown boys who choose joy as their form of resistance.
AGG completed Washington Improv Theater’s (WIT) program in 2019 and is currently a student at the Studio Acting Conservatory. A fan of sharpening his skills, AGG loves attending workshops and is exploring the dramatic side of improv.
You can catch him performing at the Fiesta Latina show and with indie teams Out / Loud and Maricas… Brrup!
