Gail Segerstrom

Gail has been a previous board member and friend of Duende for almost 25 years. A Sonora native, her background includes a BA in fine art from Stanford in 1971 with a minor in English. Her interest in communication design led to a ten-year stint designing magazines in NYC, from the Muppets to sports to wildlife conservation. Upon returning to Tuolumne County in 1989, she followed a calling to teach at Sierra Waldorf School. There she was exposed to Duende’s plays for schools and became an instant believer in its mission. As a longtime graphic design contributor and recently, opening her home to the filming of ABOLITION, she stands by Duende’s work with pride.

ABOLITION

ABOLITION tells the story of two friends, Frederick Douglass and John Brown, during the tumultuous decade leading up to the Civil War. Produced as an acclaimed two-man stage play in Sonora and Sacramento, Duende is now in production of a broadcast quality film adaptation.

Learn more about the progress of the film version, as well as the historical background of the stage play.
