WHO WE ARE

Real Life Brothers is the performing arts duo of Crys & Alison

Previously Philly-based, Alison Hyde Pascale (she/her) and Crys Clemente (it/they/he) are frequent artistic collaborators. Alison is an actor, dramaturg, and performance history scholar whose work centers questions of historiographic equity and agency. Crys dabbles in a little bit of everything production-wise. Together Crys and Alison co-produced Villanova Theatre's 2023 Studio Show: STUPID  F*CKING SHIP. Crys participated in the 2023 Cannonball Festival via their solo show FAIRE PLAY, as well as working as a festival box office manager and stage manager. After helping to load out Cannonball 2023, Crys jumped into a U-haul drive by Alison to move up to the Bronx together with their cat, Erebus. Alison is currently pursuing a PhD in Theatre and Performance at the CUNY Graduate Center. Meanwhile, Crys has been working as a stage manager, lighting designer, and production sound mixer.  Crys has an MA in Theatre and a BFA Dramatic Writing, while Alison holds an MFA in Dramatic Writing from Fairfield University, an MA in Theatre from Villanova University, and a BA in Art History.
