Personal Bio

Hi again! My name is Aly Hernandez. My multihyphenates include: Latina, actress, costume designer, and “one big heart machine.” In all of my work, I bring that whole heart into my process with a deep appreciation for the poetry of being human. I enjoy exploring the depths of human emotion and how it impacts our daily lives. I am constantly drawn to seemingly ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. I love an honest and ugly story that forces you to acknowledge your own humanity. So many times have I felt alone in my situation, only to feel such comfort in seeing my story understood in art. That is what I strive to provide for my audience. Your story is worth a stage.

When I’m not on stage or behind the scenes, I find stories in literature and poetry. I am currently reading my way through some of the classics. My current read is Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I can talk for hours about the books I’ve read. Favorite book of all time? Anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez…

And when I’m not reading, I’m working as a stylist, fueling my creative heart through fashion. That love for fashion and clothing is what led me to design costumes for theater. Clothes can say so much about a person, and it’s often your first impression of them. I love highlighting an individual’s personality with their clothing. My favorite way to do that for myself is by wearing my favorite colors. A burgundy red will always find its way into my life. Yes, that was the first thing I picked for this website.
