Kate Alexander is Associate Director at Large for Florida Studio Theatre. An actress, director and educator, Kate has been creating for over 30 years with hundreds of productions to her credit, many regional or world premieres. Broadway World said, “Watching Kate Alexander perform is like having a masterclass in acting.” Favorite roles include, Golda’s Balcony (Golda Meir) and Master Class (Maria Callas). This year, Kate will direct the world premiere of America in One Room and The Legend of Georgia McBride on the FST mainstage.

Kate founded the FST theatre school whose mission and training are cultivated from her passion for “truth on stage.” No matter what the age, students are taught that “we must venture to the emotional landscapes others fear to tread.” She has also developed theatre programs in Russia, Scotland and Israel. Her book, The Animated Short, co-authored with Karen Sullivan brings this art to the animator and is now in its second printing. Committed to social change, Kate created a city-wide dialogue on race about which Rex Ellis of the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture noted, “You are on the pulse of our collective anxiety.” Recently, Kate has directed the city-wide Suffragist Project which inspires and coordinates 60 organizations presenting for the 100th Anniversary if the Woman’s Right to Vote. This year, she continues to direct a vast community project, The Public Works of Sarasota. Ms. Alexander is the recipient of numerous artistic and civic awards.
