Welcome,
I’m a Chicago theatre artist, working as an actor, director, improvisor, fight choreographer, and teacher.
Originally from Brewer, Maine, Alek was bit by the performance bug at a young age and carried that passion through to college where he received a BFA in Theatre with a focus in Acting from Barry University. While in college he worked throughout South Florida with City Theatre, Mad Cat Theatre, Project [Theatre], Verve Central, and the Naked Stage. He returned to his hometown to work at the Penobscot Theatre Company for several years before moving to Chicago in 2019. Since arriving in the windy city, he has busied himself learning improv at iO and The Annoyance. He is an ensemble member at The Lightbulb Factory. When he has time in the day, he is a proud instructor at Ovation Academy for the Performing Arts and Bravo! Performing Arts in Oak Park.
