My name is Alyssa Marchant but you can call me Aly!

I am an actor, teacher, mover, and storyteller originally from Portland, Oregon and currently based in Columbus, Ohio.

(before you ask, yes, Portlandia depicts it perfectly and yes, I regularly hug trees, hike mountains, dance in the rain, and walk around barefoot.)

I attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas Texas and ended up with my BFA in Theatre with a specialization in Acting and a double minor of Spanish and Musical Theatre.

Here are some things I could talk about for hours over an iced lavender latte with oat milk:

• Travel (My parents live overseas and I’ve been privileged to visit about 10 countries)

• Oregon (Let me help plan your trip to this magical place!)

• Shakespeare (growing up with access to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival is a massive contribution to pursuing performance)

• Psychological Thrillers (gimme all the Peel, Villeneuve, Nolan)

• Frantic Assembly (Dare I say more? I got to do an intensive with them in January 2023 and I am obsessed)

• Frida Kahlo, Francisco Goya, and Joaquin Sorolla (I’m your girl for Spanish art)
