ALEXIS KOZAK

PLAYWRIGHT

I am Alexis Kozak, and this is a blurry picture of me that my wife took.  I like to think that it is deep; maybe it’s not. 

I am a playwright, actor, director, and teacher.  For the record, I believe in the magical healing properties of Neosporin, in the power of partial italicization, that the moon landing was a hoax, in fate over freewill (that's a new belief), and that my father may have been a Russian spy.  I strenuously disbelieve that Shakespeare’s plays were written by Francis Bacon and that oatmeal is good for you. 

My mother was a French lit professor; my father was from a small Russian village. 

The theatre has saved my life more than once. 

And as Morgan Freeman’s Azeem says to Kevin Costner in Robin Hood:  Prince of Thieves, “You have saved my life, Christian.  Now I will stay with you until I have saved yours, that is my vow.”

Here you will find samplings of my theatrical work, ranging from published plays to more personal solo pieces.  Please leave me a message, and let me know what you think.
