The Conversations Men Avoid with Gabriel Ebert & Hagen Oliveras

When I walked out of "John Proctor is the Villain" on Broadway, I knew I wanted to have a conversation about the guys in the show and I got to have it with two of them, Gabriel Ebert and Hagen Oliveras.

Gabriel portrays Mr. Smith, a beloved teacher whose true nature becomes devastatingly clear. Hagen plays Lee, a troubled young man...

And We're Just Getting Started

When I started Guyset almost 2 years ago, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
