"When life hands you dirt, plant seeds." - Matshona Dhliwayo

Hi there! My name is Delaney Jessica Gruber. I’m 23, and I come hailing in from Long Island, New York. I just graduated Summa Cum Laude with my BFA in Musical Theater Fredonia State University with minors in Dance, Arts Administration, and Staged Combat!

Recent projects include:

• Winning Best Performance at Viking Film Festival for playing the leading role in the short horror film TAROT, directed by Kevin Pimentel! I am living my scream queen dreams!

• Attending PUSH Theater’s intensive! There, I had the privilege of studying physical theatre, non-traditional partnering, dance, corporeal and illusionary mime, and much more with an excellent group of artists.

  When I’m not acting, you’ll find me with my dog, Benny, or spending quality time with my family. Lately, I’ve been exploring strength training and bodybuilding—discovering new ways to empower myself and my body. It’s been such a fulfilling journey, and I encourage everyone to find something that makes them feel strong, both physically and mentally.

  The beauty of acting, for me, lies in constant discovery—about yourself, others, and the world. And I’m just getting started.
