​

Alejandra Godoy is a Latina dramaturg, and playwright working across theatre, film, and television.

​

She earned her BFA in Directing with Honors from The New School: School of Drama in New York, where she trained across three disciplines under practitioners including Todd London in dramaturgy, Laura Censabella and Carmen Rivera in playwriting, and Melissa Crespo and Tal Yarden in directing. She brings all three lenses to every collaboration: a writer's instinct, a dramaturg's analytical rigor, and a director's understanding of what actually lives on its feet. Her early training with the Royal Shakespeare Company, across three iterations of the Worldwide Shakespeare Festival, cemented a practice rooted equally in classical form and international theatrical tradition.

​

Her theatre credits include an ongoing collaboration with playwright Melissa Maney across multiple works, among them Hungry Women, winner of Soho Playhouse's Lighthouse Series (2025), currently in production July to August 2026, as well as Decomposed Theater: or The Human Trashcan directed by Ana Margineanu (2022) and Ancient History by Jonon Gansukh (2022). In film, she has spent six years growing with 2OAKS Productions, moving from script development and research into her current role as Creative Development Executive and Dramaturg, where she evaluates IP, develops original material, and shapes projects from concept through production.

​

Her work draws on surrealism, magical realism, absurdism, and Mexica mythology, using each to ask what we inherit, what we bury, and what we refuse to let go. For a Los Angeles native who grew up across Asia and Europe, these questions have never been abstract. They are the questions of someone who has never had a single fixed vantage point, who has always known that every story is told from somewhere, and that knowing where you stand changes everything you see.
