A recent graduate of Ithaca College, Alex Krasser has found success in a wide variety of theatrical ventures. While at Ithaca, he performed in over a dozen productions, favorites including A New Brain, Hedda Gabler, Violet, 36 Views, The Pillowman, and playing Gary Gauger in The Exonerated, for which Kerry Max Cook (one of the people on which The Exonerated was based) praised him as being, "The best Gary Gauger I have ever seen." An accomplished musician as well, Alex sang with the Ithaca College Madrigal Singers for three years, under the direction of Lawrence Doebler. He plays the trumpet, french horn, cuatro (ukelele), and was a two-time top-scoring bass at the CMEA Eastern Region Music Festival.

He has performed in a handful of regional productions, including Seussical and West Side Story with the Papermill Theatre in Lincoln, NH, where he spent most of his free time hiking in the gorgeous White Mountains. At Shakespeare and Company, in Lenox, MA, he participated in a workshop reading of David Budbill's A Song for my Father, which provided a moving opportunity for him to act with his actual father, playing his son. It was the role he was born to play, and one he will never forget.

Alex is actively involved in the development of new pieces of theatre. He spent a summer in Venezuela developing a show that dealt with the Bush - Chavez conflict, using the Venezuelan tradition of Los Diablos Danzantes as a medium. As a founding member of Superhero Clubhouse, he helped to develop "Uranus," the first in a series of planetary plays working in the field of Green Theatre, where eco-friendly techniques combine with a child-like sense of imagination and exploration. "Uranus" went on to be a semi-finalist in the 2009 O'Neill National Playwright's Conference, and "Venus," SHC's newest piece, will be performed at FringeNYC this summer. With the Ithaca College School of Music, Alex performed in the world premier of Bob Pierzak's experimental opera Wayward. He also wrote and produced his own play, Finals, dealing with problems inherent in the grade-based system of liberal education. He is a published short-story writer (IC Stillwater Magazine), lover of good science-fiction, and is currently adapting a sci-fi short story into a full-length play.

Alex graduated Summa cum Laude from Ithaca with a BFA in Acting and a minor in Writing, and currently studies voice with Kate Johnson.
