Alessandra Ruiz is a Cuban-American actress who recently completed The Atlantic Acting School's Summer Intensive Program in August. She currently has a B.A. in Theatre Arts with an emphasis in Physical Theatre from California State University, Fullerton. Alessandra has also trained with Frantic Assembly for devised and physical theatre work. She grew up in Los Angeles, California, but relocated to the East Coast to pursue theatre in NYC.

​

Alessandra recently performed in two staged readings for new works, Fred Rohan Vargas' Memories of What Could Have Been and Steven J. Harris' Devil and the Playwright. Last year, Alessandra was in Bated Breath Theatre Company's production of Chasing Andy Warhol in which she received rave reviews for.

 

Alessandra's passion for theatre comes from the need for representation in the arts. As she fell in love with performing as a child, she didn't see much of herself or her people reflected in media. As a Latine actress, she wants to give a voice to her community.  Alessandra believes theatre is a powerful art form that can truly help make a change. She loves the stage, but also has passions and works in film/tv, voiceover, and educational theatre for kids.
