Sibel Galindez

is the Community Engagement Consultant at Zeiders American Dream Theater (a.k.a. The Z). After graduating Harvard College with honors in English & American Literature, she lived and worked in Los Angeles as a professional actress & singer for 10 years, sharing the stage & screen with the likes of Doris Roberts, Mark Ruffalo, and Tony Shalhoub, while developing her own cabaret. Her most notable role, Skates, a recurring character on the CBS TV drama JAG, led her to meet & marry a real-life Navy JAG, who through his naval career brought her to Virginia Beach where she happily found The Z. Her work as an artist goes hand-in-hand with her passion for community engagement, one informing the other, as she creates a bridge between art and community. She was last seen at The Z in Ophelia Chooses, a new work in the Curtain Up Play series, as the host of all The Z Open Mics, and in her collaboration with WHRO Public Media’s Race Let’s Talk About It- Through Song.
