Alex Alexander is a Massachusetts actor who spent most of her adult life in San Francisco & acted with many companies there. She is still an active member of the San Francisco Bay Area improv group Barewitness Films www.barewitness.com . In addition to the company's self driven films, they also compete annually in the Bay Area 48 hour film festival. While having a blast they also hope to win more awards - 6 so far with 21 nominations! Alex loves playing with this wacky crew of talented folks that she originally met in a 3 year theatre program.
Other than Barewitness projects, Alex's most recent film work was as a series regular in 3 seasons of Assigned Female At Birth. AFAB is a web series on you tube created by Lyralen Kaye during the height of the pandemic from interviews with 32 trans, non-binary folks as well as cis women of all identities, races, abilities & ages. https://www.youtube.com/c/AnotherCountryTV/featured

Alex’s first love is theatre...especially new works!
From plays like An Institution by Dan Takacs at Firehouse Center for the Arts to State of Maine by Tina Esper with Moonbox Productions to Nüwa in Fairyland by Brandon Zang with CHUANG Stage to Pigeon House by Kara Hadden at Fresh Ink Theatre... Alex is always excited to workshop or do staged reads of developing work.
Some fully produced new work that Alex has been lucky enough to act in includes
Hauntings I have Lived Through by James Wilkinson with Exiled Theatre,
Blood, Water, Paint by Joy McCullough-Carranza with Cappella Clausura,
Shrike by Erin Lerch and Don't Give Up The Ship by Laura Neill with Fresh Ink Theatre.
She has also performed with the ever physical company Imaginary Beasts in numerous Boston Theatre Marathons playing everything from Satan in Walmart to head witch in an incredibly realized puppet fable to 3 townspeople in an intricate & hilarious Tréteau of a town hall about Pickle Ball!
Although Alex has a passion for new works, a few favorite more traditional roles include Annie Sullivan from The Miracle Worker, Lizzie from The Rainmaker, Karen from Dinner with Friends, Marjorie from Extremities, Isabel from Romance In D and Bonfila from Slavs.
Alex studied acting in San Francisco & London and has a BA in Theatre from Hamilton College.
