Welcome!

My name is Alexander (or Alex) Lopez, and I am a multidisciplinary creator passionate about infusing the values of innovation, social justice, and collaboration into all of the work I do. Currently earning a degree from Northwestern University in Theatre, Political Science, and Integrated Marketing Communications, I am committed to utilizing my diverse skill set to increase accessibility, education, and philanthropy in the performing arts.

As a growing artist, I revel in the risk-taking of the unknown, the celebration of failure, the proactivity of questioning, and a depth of trust, all instilled in my practice of theatrical leadership. I am drawn by the subversion of theatrical norms — pushing audiences towards an immersion that questions their beliefs and behaviors long after the curtain drops. The breadth of my passion for the arts stems from my innate commitment towards a joyful, diverse, and safe community that I achieve inside and outside of the rehearsal room.

I look forward to continuing to create art that challenges norms, invites diversity of perspective, and sparks joy.
