Alessandra Wollner is cursed and blessed by the same trait: once she has a vision, she must realize it. That compulsion, equal parts superpower and liability, has carried her through careers in creative writing, education, audio storytelling, and into the construction of immodest productions, events, and gatherings.

Alessandra, often called Allie, lives in Oakland, California, where she makes impossible-seeming experiences real with costumes, crescendos, cut crystal, power tools, punch bowls, plywood, and remarkable collaborators.

If it feels like it shouldn’t exist…that’s the point.
