About Me!
Howdy! My name is Alex Mitchell (he/they), I am a Minneapolis (and soon-to-be NYC!)-based performer originally from Denver, Colorado.
As a senior BFA Actor at the University of Minnesota / Guthrie Theater, I have developed a deep love for making classical texts accessible and enriching. I am also passionate about contemporary works, directing, Theatre for Young Audiences, and telling Queer Jewish stories.
For me, acting is all about sharing anecdotes of the human heart, cultivating compassion and care. I pride myself on working diligently to tell the honest, unabashed, and often messy breadth of the human experience.
Updates!
February 2026: I will be making my UMN Guthrie BFA directorial debut with The Grown-Ups by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques. This political satire about five camp counselors is going to be a blast!
April 2026: I will be making my Mixed Blood Theatre debut as Sam in The Jungle by Joe Robertson and Joe Murphy!
