She wrapped her season in March of 2020 back at The Kav in the award winning play, Indecent, which was in collaboration with The Jewish Repertory Theatre. Unfortunately, the show was cut short due to the safety precautions implemented in the wake of the Covid pandemic. Aleks is hopeful that she will have another opportunity with Indecent in the future.

Aleks was humbled and honored to receive both the Artie Award for Outstanding Actress in a Play and the Buffalo Spree “Best of WNY” 2019 acknowledgment for her work as Mena in Sive.
In the Spring of 2018, The Kavinoky Theatre and D’Youville College acted quickly in the wake of theTo Kill a Mockingbird cancellation and in an unprecedented 19 day turn around mounted 1984 by George Orwell, adapted by Icke and McMillan. Aleks was featured in this dystopian interpretation as Julia.

Aleks played EZ at the Kav in Arrivals and Departures, by Alan Ayckbourn, which was nominated for “outstanding ensemble of a play” at the 2014-15 Annual Artie Awards. An honor to be a part of only the 2nd American produced production of this play, Aleks called this play a “mystery puzzle” and found the challenge to be repeating specific actions and emotions from Act I in Act II. You may remember Aleks as Claire in PROOF in early 2014 at the Kavinoky Theatre, which marked her Buffalo debut.
Aleks premiered an independent short film called, The Bikers. A collaborative effort of twin brothers Brett and Brian Roedel with Identical Pictures.
