Alexis has been directing and developing plays for over a decade in cities all over the country. 

​

Her recent credits include the World Premiere of Bekah Brunstetter's HEY BROTHER, and Neil Labute's FAT PIG at the Hudson Theater.  The LA Times called the show, “[a] revival that packs an unexpectedly emotional wallop” and said Jacknow’s direction, “earns instant credibility from the pitch-perfect opening scene”.

 

She also recently directed the World Premiere of A WOLF'S MOTHER for the M.F.A. Playwrighting Program at UCLA where she is on faculty as a Lecturer.  

​

Her production of L.A. Theatre Works' National Tour of SEVEN, played twenty-seven venues across the country through 2020.
