They taught as a full time self-empowerment high school teacher in Indianapolis through React. They've had the chance to work with an array of theatre companies in Chicago, such as Mudlark and Northlight, as a teaching artist. They also direct shows with students from different communities, and sculpt one-off workshops. Lexy's classes put an emphasis on ensemble, centering respect and group narratives. They believe theatre, and the arts in general, should be used as a means to engage and enrich a community, for the sake of that community.
