About Jennifer

Jennifer Sklias-Gahan has spent three decades building a multidisciplinary creative career in New York. A graduate of NYU's Washington Square College (now the College of Arts & Science), she has worked as a stage actress, screenwriter, and independent filmmaker. She is perhaps best known outside theater circles as the wife of Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan, but colleagues and critics know her as a formidable creative force in her own right — an artist whose NYU roots are evident in the intellectual seriousness she brings to every project.
