Alicia Foxworth
Social Media Director
Alicia Foxworth (Member, Sag-Aftra) is a talented artist and communications professional based in Brooklyn, New York. Her passion for storytelling began on the brownstone steps of Brooklyn as a child, where she would sit with her father after work to read the newspaper (he would read the news while she read the comics). Their conversations, filled with jokes and delightful stories, became a cherished tradition that fostered her love for narrative creativity. Growing up in an urban neighborhood, these stories provided her first insights into diverse life experiences and the significance of family bonds. Inspired by her father's tales, Alicia now shares her own stories, bringing comfort and joy to others—echoing the warmth of those moments spent on the brownstone steps.
Alicia’s artistic path started as a performer on stage, collaborating with notable groups such as the Afrikan Women’s Repertory, the Ujamaa Black Theater, and Theater for the New City. Over time, she transitioned to writing, bringing to life the diverse characters of her childhood. To date, playwright Alicia Foxworth has produced several full-length stage plays, readings, and short plays for various festivals and workshops at both commercial theaters and non-profit organizations, nurturing connections with community-based groups.
Currently, Alicia is involved with the Uptown Playwrights Workshop in Harlem, New York, where she shares and receives feedback on her new stage works. Her recent projects have been successfully submitted to several festivals, including the National Black Theater Festival readers’ theatre in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as well as the Weeksville Historical Society in Brooklyn, New York.
Her writing projects include Income Property, ROOMMATES, Family Business, and Ghost Writer. Additionally, Alicia has written her first short film, Bedford Kids, which entertains audiences by showcasing the strength that emerges when people from different backgrounds embrace their shared humanity. Most notably, her play, Ghost Writer, reached the semi-finals for the Eugene O’Neill’s National Playwrights Conference, placing among the top 200 submissions from over 1,400 entries in 2019.
Alicia’s community involvement extends to hosting and producing local cable talks, as well as coordinating movie nights at her local church for children in the community.
She has also served as an adjunct instructor at the School of New Resources at the College of New Rochelle’s Brooklyn campus and at the City University of New York at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, New York.
Alicia Foxworth holds a Master of Business Administration in Media Communications and Marketing from Fordham University, along with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing Management from Virginia State University. Her additional education includes studies at the Einhorn School of Performing Arts at Primary Stages with Michelle Bossy and TCA Studios with Ward Nixon in New York City.
Today, Alicia resides with her husband, Steven K. Foxworth, an architect, in a two-family brownstone in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York. Additionally, she is an active participant in the Frank Silvera Writers' Workshop, further enhancing her skills and connections within the theater community.
