Hello! My name is Alexandra Ley. I'm a volunteer writer and editor based in New York, NY and originally from New England. I'm a proud alumna of Miss Porter's School and Barnard College of Columbia University, and received my M.A. in Theatre History & Criticism from The Catholic University of America in 2018.

Professionally, I have worked in arts administration for over a decade, and I have previously been published in the British Fantasy Society Journal.

Personally, I am an avid bibliophile who watches too much television and drinks too much Dunkin Donuts coffee. In general, I'm very interested in American history, theatre (particularly musical theatre history), Irish culture, wine, and Dungeons & Dragons. In my free time, I like to read, play bar trivia, obsess over television shows, practice yoga, root for the New York Mets, and see plays. I look forward to contributing to the Wikipedia community!

Some of my favorite things:

• What's currently playing in Broadway theaters
• Topics surrounding regional theatre in the United States
• Television (Old): Gilmore Girls , Firefly , Friends , Cheers , Galavant , Leverage , Crazy Ex-Girlfriend , and Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• Television (Current): Doctor Who , Shrinking, The Last of Us , Ted Lasso , and Only Murders in the Building
• Movies: The Princess Bride , The Princess Diaries , Jurassic Park , and the Marvel Cinematic Universe
• Books: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and Home by Julie Andrews
• Music: Taylor Swift, The Goo Goo Dolls, Matt Nathanson, and Maisie Peters
• Musicals: & Juliet , A Chorus Line , Hamilton , Merrily We Roll Along , Once , Sunday in the Park With George , and Wicked
• Plays: John Proctor is the Villain , The Oldest Boy, Our Town , and The Tempest
• Disney films, Walt Disney World Resort, and Disneyland Resort
• The intersection between performance studies and fan studies
• Fan conventions
