Alejandra Ospina

ALEJANDRA OSPINA is a first-generation native New Yorker with roots in Colombia. She has been active for many years in advocacy and performance projects locally and beyond. In her youth, she was a founding member of the Fearless Theater Company, performing with Itzhak Perlman at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall in Claire's Broom Detective Agency: The Mystery of the Missing Violin. In recent years, she embraced the opportunity to re-engage with the stage, including as a member of the inaugural cohort of the Theatre for All intensive program for emerging actors with disabilities at the Queens Theatre. She has since performed in several projects via Queens Theatre (including a summer 2020 staging of Emily Driver's Great Race Through Time and Space!), as well as through its partnership with other companies, including Phamaly Theatre Company in Colorado. Ospina is also an arts administrator, singer, audiobook narrator (Disability Visibility: First Person Stories from the 21st Century, Vintage Books, 2020), and an audio describer, whose interest in making the arts accessible and equitable to blind and low-vision audiences contributed directly to her joining the cast of DARK DISABLED STORIES.
