With Tuffy

Alexandra resides in Passaic County, New Jersey.

Alexandra began dancing at the age of 3 and spent her childhood competing around the country obtaining local and national championship titles. She is still actively involved with dancing as a ballroom dancer and enjoys the rumba, waltz and cha cha cha best.

It was evident that Alexandra had a love of fashion during her childhood; she would spend hours designing dance costumes for paper dolls that included the use of markers and glitter.

After receiving a BA in Art History at Montclair State University, she went to graduate school at both Montclair State University for an MA in Theater with a concentration in Arts Management and the Fashion Institute of Technology for Fashion and Textile Studies: History, Theory and Museum Practice.

She is currently employed working in Communications and Marketing for a large institution and also runs her Web design business, Tri-Star Design. She enjoys building her web design portfolio.

Her family is actively involved with Boston Terrier Rescue and fosters homeless Boston Terriers in addition to their dogs Tuffy (10.15.95-6.1.10), Turbo, Rory and Charles Lowell.

She enjoys carousel horses, cupcakes, pistachios and flamingos.

The plot description: “Father O’Sullivan is desperate. But who wouldn’t be? The bank is about to foreclose on his church buildings and orphanage. He’s got young people struggling with questions of love, developers struggling to turn the house of God into the Condos of God, a gangster struggling with the English language, and a bookkeeper who’s just a struggle for everyone. Plus, he’s hosting a Bingo night as a last chance to raise enough money to get himself out of this mess. So, what happens when his bookkeeper is killed and the money is stolen? It’s time for Father O’Sullivan to “forgive-and-forget” nothing as he struggles to solve the crime.”

It was a lot of fun interacting with the audience as Jennifer Boyleston, fiancee of Greg Arlington. Greg was the church’s first orphan to live in the church orphanage. He and Jennifer want to get married but do not have enough money to plan a wedding. Is that enough of a motive to kill? Each night, the audience voted who they felt “whodunit” and Jennifer Boyleston happily received many, many votes each night with her innocent appearance! Almost all performances were sold out and the cast formed solid friendships.
