Alice Pelayo

Alice Pelayo (she/her): I'm pleased to be returning to the stage since returning from Colorado! I adore independent theatre as a radical and creatively liberated medium, and I'm so excited to be working with PulpPunk and FutureHome to bring some silliness to the stage in "SNARK!" I'm a huge fan of strange and interesting stage productions, and I hope you love this one as much as we all do. As this is my first public stage role since transition, I see this family-friendly comedy as a beautiful way to re-introduce myself to audiences, and I can't wait to share that joy with all of you! <3
