#TheDayWithTrae - Alexandra Tavares, an accomplished actress, joined Trae Holiday on "The Day with Trae" to discuss her journey as an actor and her role as Regina Giddens in the Intiman Theatre's production of "The Little Foxes." 

Tavares shared that her love for theater began as a child, finding live performances to be a magical and profound experience. Despite starting her professional acting journey later in graduate school, she has since embraced the career, becoming a strong advocate for live arts due to its unique ability to connect and heal communities. She also discussed character development for complex roles, expressing a fascination with exploring the psychology of characters driven by a desire to survive. She highlighted theater's imaginative space for adults, fostering joy, discovery, and curiosity. 

Regarding her current role as Regina Giddens in "The Little Foxes," Tavares described the character as a brutal, ambitious woman shaped by generational trauma, navigating limited avenues in 1900s Alabama. She connects with Giddens through their shared experience of motherhood and the "female tap dance" of manipulation to achieve goals.
