About Me
Hi there! I’m Alex (she/her), a UK-based theatre director, intimacy director, and acting tutor.
I tell adventurous, challenging, socially conciencious stories from a queer, feminist perspective. Music is an essential part of my work, whether I'm developing a musical or crafting a pre-show playlist. In 2025, I founded T. Regina Theatre Co.*
I have directed & produced four productions under T. Regina: Scenes with girls by Miriam Battye (Golden Goose Theatre), My Name is Rachel Corrie by Rachel Corrie, Alan Rickman, and Katherine Viner (Palestine House & Etcetera Theatre), and Late, A Cowboy Song by Sarah Ruhl (Hen and Chickens Theatre, Fringe Theatre Award WINNER), and the London premiere of Something Clean by Selina Fillinger (Lion & Unicorn Theatre).
Other recent credits include Merchant of Venice 1936 (Trafalgar Theatre, West End, Assistant Director on placement), Midnight in Nashville by Lee Papa (The Glitch/Lower Marsh Arts Club), Gruesome Playground Injuries by Rajiv Josephs (Golden Goose Theatre), Julia Caeser and Macbeth (East 15 Acting School, Southend-on-Sea).
I hold an MFA in Theatre Directing from East 15 Acting School in London, where I am now an acting tutor on the BA. I completed my BA in Theatre from Whitworth University. As an intimacy professional, I have trained with Intimacy Directors and Coordinators (IDC) and Theatrical Intimacy Education (TIE). I am committed to using antiracist, consent based, and trauma-informed practices in my rehearsals and classrooms.
Originally from Wenatchee, WA, USA and currently based in London, my theatrical adventures have taken me to Chicago, DC, Ohio, New Hampshire, El Salvador, Poland and Indonesia. I am the creator of Out There (2022, Andy's Summer Playhouse) and the co-creator of Poetry and Prose (2019, Whitworth University), two original musicals.
When not in rehearsal, you can find me wandering bookstores, snacking on dill pickles, or locating the nearest cat for a snuggle. Free Palestine.
