Pax Ressler (they/she) is a transfeminine performer, devisor and composer based in Philadelphia, an F. Otto Haas Emerging Artist Award Finalist and a Barrymore Award-winning composer. Their theatrical work can be described as a Trojan horse-given as a seemingly harmless gift, but sickeningly subversive once the audience’s guard is down. She is a member of Actors’ Equity Association and works as a creator, performer, music director, composer, designer and educator at Philadelphia Theatre companies, including Arden Theatre Company, Bearded Ladies Cabaret, FringeArts, Nicole Canuso Dance Company, People’s Light, Theatre Exile, Theatre Horizon, Simpatico Theatre, Shakespeare in Clark Park, Wilma Theater, 11th Hour, 1812 Productions and more. Pax is a gardener of community-focused projects, including Rise Choir and Genderfunk Philly. To see more of what Pax has been working on, visit the Project History tab. After releasing Change (2020), an album of non-binary love songs, she recently released dreams, a concept album based on half-awake voice memos.
