Alexander has been a musician in NYC for over 25yrs.  Although his credits include Broadway shows & 50-piece orchestras, his favorite time has always been with the smallest, most intimate pieces.   Susan Marshall’s Sawdust Palace, John Mercurio’s Academy, Julianne Wick-Davis’s The Pen.  So, as excited as he is for his newest project (joining the faculty of the Berklee School of Music), he is unquestionably more delighted to be a small part of Erin Moughon’s The Elevator Play!
