She also received rave reviews starring in the world premiere of "Uncommon Ground" at the Northlight Theater, as well as Keith Reddin's "Peacekeeper" at American Blues Theatre. After moving to Los Angeles, Gunn continued to garner acclaim in the American premiere of "Hysteria" directed by Phyllida Lloyd at the Mark Taper Forum, and went on to star as Isabella in "Measure for Measure" at the Ahmanson Theatre, helmed by famed director Sir Peter Hall. While living in L.A., New York beckoned and Gunn was brought East to make her Broadway debut opposite Roger Rees in "The Rehearsal" at the Roundabout Theater.
