Lex K. Laverriere

Originally from southern Maine, Lex has been living and working in Boston since 2013 when she first came to Boston University — and the Tsai Center — as an undergraduate. After four years as a student Production Assistant and a brief career as a freelance technician and videographer, Lex joined the Tsai production staff full-time in 2017. Since then, Lex has held multiple full-time roles at the Tsai Center, working as a Production Specialist, Senior Production Specialist, and most recently Production Manager as of August 2025. As Production Manager, Lex leads the production staff in supporting all Tsai Center events and oversees all technical operations of the theatre. She enjoys collaborating with other full-time technicians and students alike to support diverse programming for the University and greater Boston communities.

Alongside her duties at Tsai, Lex serves as the advisor for Boston University On Broadway, BU’s student-run musical theatre group, and is a Terrier F1RSTS Advocate dedicated to supporting first-generation students throughout their experience at BU. Prior to Tsai, Lex has also worked at nonprofit theatre and film organizations in both Boston and Los Angeles. With her interdisciplinary artistic and academic interests, Lex feels right at home at a multipurpose university venue.

Lex holds a bachelor’s degree in film & television and an MFA in film & television studies, both from BU. Her graduate thesis, titled “Cinematic Transsubjectivity: Film Spectatorship as Gendered Subjectivation Beyond the Clinic,” argues through close readings of three films from the historical context of the emergent gender clinic in the early-1970s United States that the cinematic medium has a unique capacity to facilitate gender-expansive thinking in viewing subjects. Inspired by Sandy Stone, in this work “cinematic transsubjectivity” describes both a film’s capacity to articulate transsexuality beyond the limiting scope of dominant discourses and a viewing position from which spectators may begin to conceive of transsexual expression through cinematic terms.

Outside of work, Lex enjoys reading fiction, discovering new music, and making big breakfasts to share. She is also a proud cat parent.
