Alexa Terry trained in Musical Theatre at Bath Spa University and, since graduating in 2011, she has been involved in many projects as a professional performer. Caught in a game of tug-of-war between the pen and the stage, Alexa studied Comprehensive Creative Writing with Oxford Open Learning, and later attended classes with BML (Book, Music and Lyrics) as a librettist.

Alexa’s zest for theatre is driven by her strong belief in the importance of storytelling and the need for creative escapism. As Phillip Pullman once said: “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
