In 2009, Annie co-starred opposite Greg
Leute for Independent Artists as Melissa in Love Letters where one critic wrote, She imbues her Melissa with such
enthusiasm, exuberance, loveliness, warmth, desirability, neediness and vulnerability--this production of Love Letters is such a triumph.
She also, in 2009, shot The
Greatest Show On Earth in Orlando for Cam White which is hitting the festival circuit. She starred as the lovable Billie
Dawn in the rarely revived Born Yesterday where the review in The Flagler Times said, "Quite an artistic challenge for Annie
Gaybis who acquits herself wonderfully in the starring role. No surprise really--we'd been awed by her performances." Annie finished the year as guest artist with First Coast Ballet
and The Jacksonville Symphony in their production of The Nutcracker.
