Gabby Tennor
Fourth-grader Gabby Tennor garnered recognition for her performance as baby Jesus in “El Niño,” a Nativity tale, at the Metropolitan Opera in New York.
Inspired by her passion for acting and performance, the 10-year-old Hagerstown native tried out for the role.
Tennor and her mother made the five-hour drive to New York City from Maryland twice a week during the show’s month-long run.
Her role was to act out the nativity story being sung in the lyrics.
She told Fox5, “I am so glad I can do something that is based on my faith because I’m Christian. Let God take you wherever you want to be. It’s not just about yourself, let others help.”
