Reimagined: The Fisher Collection at 10 Opening Weekend

Actors’ Reading Collective is actor inspired, shaped, and driven and is a collective molded by mutual efforts and member input. Formed during the COVID-19 pandemic to bring actors together for weekly reading sessions, they have evolved into a performance group created to present readings to the public, with a focus on the essence of the theater: words spoken without frills or furbelows.

Gabrielle Elyse Oberes Padre, known professionally as GEO, is a San Francisco Bay Area harpist redefining what the instrument can do. Blending classical foundations with hip-hop, EDM, R&B, and soul, she brings a bold and unexpected sound to every stage. Her musical journey began in church and orchestras and later took her to perform in cathedrals across Europe. Today, GEO is known for weaving harp into spaces it’s rarely heard — from backyard rap shows to major music festivals. She was the first harpist to perform the national anthem at a professional sports game, opening San Diego Wave FC’s AAPI Night at Snapdragon Stadium. She has appeared at NBA All-Star Weekend, Head in the Clouds, and Outside Lands, where she joined Bay Area rapper LaRussell on the Lands End mainstage. GEO has performed alongside Macklemore, E-40, Lil Jon, and Baby Bash, and has performed in front of California Governor Gavin Newsom. Her viral rendition of Mac Dre’s “Thizzle Dance” earned praise from Too $hort, Mistah F.A.B., and P-Lo. In 2026, GEO took the stage as part of Super Bowl festivities, performing live as fans entered Levi’s Stadium and opening for Kehlani at San Jose’s largest Super Bowl pregame block party.
