Gina Stewart is a North Carolina actress and singer/songwriter with an eclectic performance background. She was the original bassist of Fetchin Bones, one of the most innovative bands to emerge from the North Carolina Music Scene in the 1980s. Then she formed The Blind Dates, Doubting Thomas and Volatile Baby, three vastly different, and yet, equally ground-breaking bands. She has also toured with the Tarradiddle Players, The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival, The Charlotte Shakespeare Festival, and Charlotte Repertory Theatre.
In Charlotte, she co-founded the award-winning Innovative Theatre Company and Stage Door Touring Repertory. Audiences remember most her portrayal of Emily Dickinson in the one-woman show The Belle of Amherst, her subsequent performance in the one-woman show The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, as well as her outlandish performance as a guest star in the Broadway Touring Production of The Vagina Monologues with Ronda Ross and Glynnis Johns.
Gina's favorite performing moments include a stint as Maybelle Carter in the new musical Wildwood Flowers: The June Carter-Cash Story, which she performed at the Roy Acuff Theatre in Nashville, TN, at Cape Fear Regional Theatre in Fayetteville and at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in Charlotte, and her performances at the Grand Ole Opry alongside country music legend Carlene Carter.
If you watch closely and don't blink, you can also catch Gina in countless made for television movies, on Walker, Texas Ranger, Dawson's Creek and as "Teapot," the gravedigger's daughter in Shaun Cassidy's cult classic CBS series, American Gothic.

About Good Ol' Girls, Gina Stewart says:
Good Ol' Girls is my favorite show. Ever. The opportunity to work on such incredible dialogue combined with such stellar songwriting, and then, top that off with getting to work with so many artists that I love and respect...just takes the cake! I am proud of this one...real proud.
I did this show because Bo Thorpe had talked about wanting to do this forever! And I would do just about anything she wanted me to do because everything she does is just wonderful and I just love her. I did this show because Marshall Chapman was my idol when I was 13 years old and got my first Fender Stratocaster. And because I think Lee Smith and Jill McCorkle are the best. And because I really wanted to hang out with my buddy Pamela Bob again and because I thought I might actually get to meet Matraca Berg...which...I did!
