Adriana Alter
Director, Shakespeare coach, editor, and writer
DIRECTING
I am the co-founder and artistic director of Atlas Shakespeare Company, a New York City-based repertory company dedicated to reintroducing audiences to Shakespeare's work via vivid, inclusive, character-driven productions. ​
​
Other theatrical experience includes work with Two Good Dogs Productions, the Secret Theatre, Hip to Hip Theatre Company, the Riant Theatre, Chelsea Repertory Company, Identity Theater Company/Nicu’s Spoon Theater Company, Royal Family Productions, and Hartford Stage.
SHAKESPEARE COACHING
I provide private coaching for performers looking to select and master Shakespearean monologues, and am always happy to hear from prospective clients. I have worked with clients at every level from absolute Shakespeare novices to experts, and at every phase from initial monologue selection to audition/performance preparation.
EDITING & CONTENT CREATION
​I hold a professional certification in UX writing from the UX Content Collective, and I have created and edited content across an extensive range of platforms, genres, and subject matters. My experience includes writing marketing copy for a major pet tech company, conducting a full content audit on a specialized law firm's website, editing literary fiction, fact-checking highly technical articles about electric vehicles, and everything in between. Much like directing, meticulously crafting content fulfills my need to communicate with audiences via storytelling and relationship-building.

I am currently open to new editing, proofreading, and content creation opportunities.​​
FICTION
My books, The Collected Adventures of Mr. Edgar Beagle, Private Investigator and its sequel By the Pricking of My Paws, are genre-bending mystery novellas set in a parallel version of Victorian London. They chronicle the many achievements and frustrations of the fastidious, introverted, logic-driven Mr. Beagle as he struggles to pursue justice alongside his distractible, idealistic border collie friend.
