Performing
Alexandra Palting is an actor and writer based in New York City with proud roots in the DC theatre community. Aside from her time as Artist in Residence at The Kennedy Center, other favorite local credits include CATF, Olney Theatre Center, Imagination Stage, Chesapeake Shakespeare Company, and The Keegan Theatre. She has performed her original music at venues including The Lincoln Theatre and Merriweather Post Pavilion and her career as a singer has taken her from the swing clubs of Baltimore to the Vatican. Her on-camera work can be seen on "Law and Order," in independent films, and in productions for clients like Apple, the NIH, and Home Depot. Her voiceover work can be heard anywhere from NYT Bestsellers at Macmillan Audio (most recently in Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth, Reese Witherspoon’s inaugural YA Book Club pick as well as Barnes and Noble’s June YA title) to work for clients like Microsoft and Voice of America. She is a member of the Actors Equity Association and a theatrical and screen actor repped by ATB Talent. She studied at the University of Delaware, RADA, and Harvard Online Business School.
Writing
Alex is a 2025-26 BMI Musical Theatre Bookwriting Cohort Member. She is the performer, writer, lyricist and co-composer of 0874: A Filipino-American Love Story, a one-woman musical that tells the story of her grandparents’ courtship and immigration to the United States. The show was developed at The Kennedy Center in 2022, premiered off-Broadway in NYC at the Connelly Theater during SheNYC Arts in 2023 (where a panel of Broadway producers awarded the show “Best Original Score”), and in 2024 was selected for an international screening at the U.S. Consulate in China. Her next solo show, "Offering for the Earth: A BioRhythmic Celebration of the Music of Hildegard von Bingen," will premiere in Washington, DC in April, 2026.

Being Alive
As a producer, she has harnessed the power of community and storytelling in order to raise over $60,000 for arts organizations that champion diverse voices and for nonprofits like Feeding America and RAINN that provided direct aid to vulnerable populations throughout the pandemic. As an educator, she is a regular speaker at colleges, universities, and conferences across the country where she shares her passion for equipping creatives with practical skills that a formal education forgets. Alex is an avid rockclimber, loves to hike and surf, and will do hot yoga if peer-pressured. She and her husband are veterans of a 5+ year long-distance relationship, and have gone from 3,000 miles and 3 time zones apart to sharing a Manhattan studio with their spoiled rescue pup named Faith. She loves musky cocktails, Lord of the Rings, calling her mom, and celebrating Christmas way too early.
