About Me!

Elexis is a versatile actor based in Chicago, known for disappearing into characters across genres — from intimate, grounded realism to heightened theatricality.

A true chameleon, Elexis has worked in everything from new works and reimagined classics to physical theatre and devised pieces.

Originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she brings a layered, collaborative spirit into every room. Recent credits include Rome Sweet Rome (Casca u/s, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre) and Jaja’s African Hair Braiding (Jennifer, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati)

Beyond the stage, Elexis is a poetry lover, voice enthusiast, and lifelong learner — always hunting for the next role that asks something unexpected.
