About Alexis Spiegel

I am a Teaching Artist who, since 2014, has developed and led a course in games-based improvisational theater at Oasis Day Camp in Central Park, P.S. 54 and P.S. 340 in the Bronx, and P.S. 346, P.S. 279, and P.S.151 in Brooklyn. From 2017 through 2020, I also tutored children and teens with reading challenges, seeing and working with most of my students every weekday, through great days and harder ones. I’m also a playwright. I earned my MFA in Playwriting from NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2014, and I’m the author of Honeoye (presented by the Dramatists Guild, 2015), co-author (and co-actor), with playwright Stacey Rose, of The Black Jew Thing (Mosaic Theater Company of DC, September 2016), and most recently Huma Dreams: A Hindsight Play (Dixon Place, February 2020) , and other plays.
