MY OWN FINAL PRIVATE DESTINATION

SEPTEMBER 27 & 28 | 7:30PM

Alexandra McVicker is a transgender actress from Louisville, Kentucky, and is currently based in NYC. Prior to her transition, Alex's breakthrough role came in 2017 as a recurring character in the second season of HBO’S Vice Principals, directed by David Gordon Green. She played troubled student Robin Shandrell who becomes Neil Gamby’s (Danny McBride) pet project for the semester. Alex also starred in the 2019 Amazon’s half hour pilot from Mehar Sethi, based on the BAFTA award winning UK series People Just Do Nothing. Independent Spirit award winner Christopher Storer directed the pilot. Alex played Brody, an enthusiastic, drug-addled former pro skater with a terrible memory and great hair. Alex can also be seen in Paramount’s Action Point alongside Johnny Knoxville. Directed by BAFTA award winner Tim Kirby, the comedy follows a daredevil played by Knoxville who designed his own theme park with his friends. She can also be seen starring alongside Emmanuelle Chriqui and Sam Trammell in the independent film Hospitality from Academy award nominee Howard Barish.

“First they say you’re crazy, then they fight you, then all of a sudden, you change the world."

Star of film and television Alexandra McVicker makes the difficult but respectable decision to return to her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky to portray herself in a play she wrote about her own life. Although no one else seems to share her creative vision, she selflessly puts her own life experience on the line - her gender transition, her off again off again relationship with her high school math teacher, her mother’s untimely death - in pursuit of acting’s top honor: an Oscar nomination.
