Alex Eddington has toured the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit as an actor in two previous original scripts: WOOL (2006) and The Fugue Code (2007).  He is now thoroughly committed to creating and performing unique theatrical works influenced by his musical training.  His stay in the theatre-rich city of Edmonton led him to musical collaboration with local actors and dancers, presented by Mile Zero Dance, Nextfest, The Works Art and Design Festival, and the University of Alberta Department of Drama. 

Alex Eddington will be combining his two loves - music and theatre - in a residency with Tarragon Theatre in Toronto next season.  

He is also an occasional choral singer, conductor, concert narrator and freelance writer.
