Alex started working at Camp Ballibay in 2017. He loves being a part of the Ballibay family, and considers Ballibay their home away from home. He loves spending his summers surrounded by artists of all ages, and loves guiding young artists in creating exciting work. While they've had a variety of job titles in their time at camp, they're very excited to continue directing theater. Favorite past camp productions include Dr. Eva's Heartache Machine (a new musical developed at camp!), Firebringer, Three Sisters, Newsies, and Antigone (riot grrrl style).
