PRESS
DIRECTING
"Directed with precision by Alex Church... The lighting and sound design are highly effective and build genuine tension."
- The Stages of MN, about BREACH
“Co-directors Alex Church and Em Adam Rosenberg keep the pace of the comedy crackling along at a rapid clip, even as the plentiful laughs start mining darker subject matter.”
- Single White Fringe Geek, about Plano
“This is a thoroughly gripping story told in an hour that flies by and also somehow feels like an epic journey.”
- Cherry and Spoon, about BREACH
"This show — with a tightly woven storyline, ferocious but fine-tuned emotionality and nimbly handled social themes — is one of the most effective and affective theatrical works I’ve seen recently, Fringe or otherwise"
- Jared Kaufman of the Pioneer Press, about BREACH
“The direction by Alex and Em make it as clear as it can be, while still leaving room for ambiguity, and strikes a perfectly balanced tone between humor, grounded family drama, absurdity, and fantasy.”
- Cherry and Spoon, about Plano
PLAYWRITING
"Alex Church... is quickly emerging as one of Minnesota Fringe’s strongest playwrights,"
- Jared Kaufman, Pioneer Press, about BREACH
“One reason I’m always game for another new play from Alex Church is all his scripts are wildly different from one another. They all very much come from the same mind, but the style and subject matter veer off in many directions, constantly playing with the art form.”
- Single White Fringe Geek, about Dutch: Made in America
ACTING
"Church is incredibly good as Iago."
- Talkin' Broadway, about Othello: The Remix
"Alex Church is a deliciously evil Iago (in addition to a few other small roles), delivering sinister soliloquys with glee."
- Cherry and Spoon, about Othello: The Remix
"Alex Church is very impressive as Iago... Church knows what he’s about in every moment of the show, easily distinguishing between Iago and the other characters he plays. And always finding every ounce of humor, whether it be a voice or just a look, he leaves nothing on the table"
- Stages of MN, about Othello: The Remix
