Alexandra is an actor and singer from Chicago, Illinois. She received her BFA in Acting from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While in college, Alexandra studied several styles of theatre including Kabuki theatre (taught by the illustrious Shozo Sato), Suzuki and View Points (SITI Company). Alexandra considers herself an actor-combatant having been certified in Single-sword and Unarmed stage combat, along with Broadsword and Shield. She is currently working her way through all the different weapons certifications! Alexandra can be seen on stages across the region, as well as many web series, television series and short films. She is a proud company member with Theatre L’Acadie where their mission is to be nurturers of new and under-produced work and to unearth the beauty rooted within chaos (https://theatrelacadie.com/). Alexandra can also be seen playing with her improv team, Three-Way Mirror, all throughout Chicago. In addition to acting, she has directed, fight-choreographed, and intimacy-coordinated for various shows, most recently having done the fight-choreography and intimacy for She Kills Monsters. When not performing, Alex coaches actors and singers from the Chicagoland area, and works as a substitute teacher out of Plainfield, Illinois. During her free time, she likes to sleep in late, watch loads of movies and television (ask for recs!) and scours the Chicagoland area for the best ramen and soup dumplings. Her hobbies include reading an unhealthy number of books (ask about joining her book club), pilates, and adding new recipes to her cookbook!
