My first Blue Star Awards ceremony and seeing the Laura Osnes’ talk-back in February 2020.

 

Advice you’d give to freshmen to help them navigate high school:
Be yourself and don’t be afraid to try new things!

 

Just a few months after donning glass slippers in Cinderella, Alexa found another role to be a perfect fit – she landed the lead role of Sophie Sheridan in Mamma Mia! This dancing queen surely went out on a high note in the Shawnee Mission South spring 2020 production.

I am participating in KC Superstar and taking lots of dance classes.

Hopes/dreams for your future:
To be successful in film and on Broadway!

 

Favorite musical and why:
Bandstand It’s an important story to be told, and I love jazz.

 

Just like a certain princess, Alexa’s dreams came true when she was cast in the lead role of Ella in Shawnee Mission South’s production of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella last fall.

 

Favorite song, artist and why:
I can’t pick a favorite song, but I love Taylor Swift!

 

Words you live by:
“You are enough.”

 

Why theatre?
It’s my favorite way to express myself. I feel the most like myself when I’m performing.
