Gabi Hegan (Olga)

A native of Munich, Bavaria, Gabi participated in her early years in plays featuring local delights such as Dirndls and Pretzels. She also produced and appeared in musicals including Bugsy Malone and The Rocky Horror Picture Show this time featuring other favorites: Leather, fishnets and bathroom tissue (!) After studying traditional acting in her early years Gabi abandoned acting for a career in the hotelbusiness, but fell in love with improv -- while forced on stage as guest! -- at a NYC "Murder Dinner Theatre". She won the "Audience's 'Best Actress' Oscar" and has been hooked ever since. She is a founding member of Reform School Improv, however, as “Olga” she found her true alter-ego.
Gabi is delighted to produce this wonderful show she created with Greg as a co-writer.

Gregory Levine (Gregor)

A man, a legend... The legend: Jewel thief and rum-runner, Greg put himself through college singing for change up and down the Riviera. The man? Raised a Bronx mongrel, Greg fought his cruel beautiful sisters for every crumb. Along the way, this gadabout trader of antiquities, bon mots and the occasional right hook studied improv at the UCB Theater and GS Improv, and appeared in several seasons of the Ecoutez performance workshop. He is a member of several improv troupes, including Klaatu and Reform School Improv, of which he is a founding member. He is thrilled to be collaborating with Gabi in writing and directing The Gregor & Olga Show
