Susan is well-known for her roles on Search For Tomorrow (Kristen Carter Emerson), Ryan’s Hope (Gabriel Dubujak) and appearances on One Life to Live and All My Children. Susan is also known for her debut role on the soap opera Another Life (Becky Hewitt) produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network where she wrote songs to be performed by her character. Daytime soaps led to a contract role on the ABC hit prime-time series, Dynasty, and guest starring roles on episodes of The A-Team and Remington Steele.

While acting, Ms. Scannell Gilbert kept her love of music alive by appearing at nightclubs such as: Dangerfields, Maxims, The Silver Lining, Carlos & Charlie’s and others, as well as performing her original songs on The Merv Griffin Show. She also sang the National Anthem at Shea Stadium. Scannell Gilbert ’s love of singing and writing led to writing a one-woman musical called “Love Jokes” which received a grant from Queens Public Television.

She is a three-time winner in Joel Selmeier’s New York One Minute Play Competition, which led to her scripts being published in “Rosebud Magazine”. She is also the winner of DramaLogues 1988 Critics Award for outstanding achievement in theater for her comedic performance in Dream Girl by Elmer Rice.

From 2001 – 2005 she served as the Founding Executive Director of the award-winning Astoria Performing Arts Center in Astoria, NY, where along with producing popular shows for the public, she was able to create musical theater programs for youth (“Summer Stars”) and Seniors (“Senior Stars”) which are free to all participants. She left APAC in good hands, and it is a thriving theater to this day. Susan can be found on the stage in Massachusetts where she enjoys performing roles that “tickle her mind and heart.”
