About Me!

Howdy! My name is Alex Mitchell (he/they), and I am an actor, singer, & director originally from Denver, Colorado. I just graduated with my BFA in Acting from the University of Minnesota / Guthrie Theater, woo-hoo!

I have been lucky enough to perform all around the world, including Mixed Blood Theatre, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, the Royal Shakespeare Company, and more.

I pride myself on leading with preparation, joy, and flexibility. Offstage, you can find me strumming away on the guitar, cleaning my room, or trying to find a way to put my Statistics Minor to use.
