Pure Carbon – Private Lives Cast

Private Lives Cast

Alex Clay as Victor
For Pure Carbon: Debut
Four days after defending his Masters’ thesis in History at the University of Guelph, Alex made a career move. He debuted as Jason in Guelph Little Theatre’s Rabbit Hole. After moving to Toronto, he discovered the world of acting in short plays with Theatre InspiraTO, Social Capital, and Small But Mighty Productions. Alex then got his creep on. First, as a dimwitted camera operator turned enigmatic demon in Interview with a Demon, then as a teenage prodigy turned psychopathic murderer in The Dialogues of Leopold and Loeb. Some of Alex’s favourite credits include Luke Richmond in Inch of Your Life: Episode 1 with the theatre dept. at last year’s Toronto Fringe Festival and Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. Alex is thrilled to be working with Pure Carbon Theatre and this amazing group of artists. He would like to thank his family for their unwavering support and his fiancée Kate for her unconditional love…and willingness to participate in casual line runs (pssst. best non-actor self-tape reader in the city). Catch Alex and Brittany Cope in July as they reunite in Some of us Pretend with Bricks n’Sticks Productions at the Hamilton Fringe Festival!

Brittany Cope as Elyot
For Pure Carbon: Debut

Brittany is a proud graduate of the University of Windsor’s Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting Program and has trained with Stratford’s Summer Program, the SITI Company and the International Michael Chekhov Association. Since graduating, Brittany has been busy producing her one woman show, Mission Magnet, across Ontario. Written, directed and performed by Brittany, this play dives into the story of a military doctor serving in Afghanistan while her son is dying in Canada. She has recently begun to bring it to medical schools to share with the students and completed a production with Brick and Mortar’s One More Night Festival in Toronto. She just recently directed the Toronto premiere of Green in Blue by Duncan Rowe with Greenlight Theatre. Recent credits include: The Diary of Anne Frank with Plain Stage Theatre, Follow Your Heart with Evolution Dance Theatre, The Young Ladies of Baddeck Club with Theatre Baddeck, Curved with the New Ideas Festival, and Scenes from my Dock! with Muskoka Theatre Project.
