[12] He was named "one of Orange County's most genuinely innovative theatrical minds" by OC Weekly and called "one of O.C.'s more fertile theatrical minds" by the Orange County Register . [12] [13]
After moving to Philadelphia, Gable wrote another Twitter play, The 15th Line, [14] as well as the stage plays D-Pad, which was a finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's National Playwrights Conference, [15] and Go Ahead, which was presented at the National New Play Network's National Showcase of New Plays. [16]
In 2018, Gable adapted his play Watch Me Jump into a video game, which was made available for PC, Mac, iOS, and Android. [17] [18] [19] The game was nominated for an Independent Games Festival Award for Excellence in Narrative. [20]
