Alecia Baxter (Co-Producer)
Alecia Baxter is a Bay-area born, Chicago-raised librettist, performer, screenwriter and administrator based in New York City. She is committed to bringing compelling stories to life by both writing them herself and supporting different phases of their development. Her journey to do so has led her to study Improv at The Second City; support front of house and box office operations for Berkeley Repertory Theater; and move to New York to study musical theater writing. She recently had the first public reading of her original musical HOW TO NOT DROWN (Music by Paige Menneci). Additionally, she served as Stage Manager of NEXT YEAR IN CONNECTICUT concert at Green Room 42; House Manager for the NYU Cycle 32 Cabaret at Joe’s Pub; Light Board Operator for the American Opera Project x NYU opera lab; and Stage Manager for THE ANGEL MAKERS 29-hour reading at the Abrons Art Center. She is thrilled to be producing this first staged performance of The Angel Makers.
Alecia holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from Loyola University Chicago, and an MFA from the NYU Tisch Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program. Her creative works include: HOW TO NOT DROWN (music by Paige Menneci) a new pop rock & R&B romantic comedy about a black woman trying to learn how to be more social in order to get a promotion at work; OZWELL COFFEE (music by Sequoia Sellinger) a bittersweet Wizard of Oz adaptation about an afro-latina woman opening a coffee shop in a gentrifying neighborhood; and THE SOCK DRAWER (music by Paige Menneci) a political commentary about a purple sock who just wants to live comfortably in a sock drawer with red and blue socks; and CHIPS! (music by Ziyan Yang) a wacky 15-minute opera where the proverbial chips on peoples shoulders literally grow out of their shoulders.
