Alejandro Tey, whose larp scenario Photo Finish will be premiering at Make a Scene 2026, is a Cuban-American, South Texas-raised theatre maker and teaching artist whose artistic practice focuses on collaborative creation, narrative immersion, and participation: working with an ensemble to invite and guide audience into the role of protagonist. Tey is the Associate Artistic Director of Mixed Blood Theatre, through which he has led the process of Upstream, a participatory play about climate change for middle schoolers and their families; created discussion guides for the Equitable Dinners, a series of plays followed by facilitated conversation around complex topics; and co-directed (with Artistic Director Mark Valdez) The Happiness Gym, an event that turns the research on happiness into exercises for an audience aimed at improving well-being.

Tey also directed the world premiere of Fallenstar: The Watchoverers, a play about Native teen superheroes produced by New Native Theatre, and the final sharing of Willmar, a verbatim play about the interlocking communities of Willmar, MN produced by The Neighborhood Theatre Project. Tey is an ensemble member of Sojourn Theatre, through which he has performed & directed plays, led workshops, and facilitated conversations across the country. He is also the creator of The Isle of Sugar, a hybrid roleplaying game/theatrical event based on his grandparent’s experience of the Cuban Revolution.
