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, CoLAB Arts, and The Keegan Theatre.
Writing
Alex is a BMI Musical Theatre Advanced Bookwriting Cohort Member. She is the performer, writer, lyricist and composer of two solo shows: 0874: A Filipino-American Love Story, a one-woman musical that tells the story of her grandparents’ courtship and immigration to the United States, and Offering for the Earth: A Biorhythmic Celebration of Hildegard von Bingen, which fuses the life, music, and mysticism of the medieval composer with the live biorhythms of plants.
0874 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. Offering for the Earth became the commissioning series' best-selling concert in their 20-year history and was the April '26 cover story of The Catholic Review. Both projects remain committed to community partnerships with the audiences they seek to serve and represent.
She is currently on commission developing a new musical at Brooklyn Children's Theatre. Later this year, she will continue her journey at BMI working on La Generala— a new musical about the 18th Century Filipina freedom fighter Gabriela Silang, the first woman to lead a revolution against Spain.
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 to work for clients like Microsoft and Voice of America. 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.
She is a member of the Actors Equity Association and a theatrical and screen actor repped by ATB Talent.
Problem Solving
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. Clients include Collegiate Empowerment, Arts Administrators of Color, the University of Maryland, and the University of Delaware. From her home in NYC, she maintains a thriving studio of voice and piano students.
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 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She continues to assist arts organizations as a design and communications strategist. She studied at the University of Delaware, RADA, and Harvard Online Business School.
Alex is an avid rockclimber, loves to hike and surf, and will do hot yoga under peer-pressure. 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.
