“As a stage director, I try never to miss an opportunity to see Ashley's work…and it always delivers. Her ability to drive a story off the stage and into your soul is a gift. Whether an intimate drama or a big splashy musical, Ashley's work is powerful, detailed, and daring. Having worked with artists before and after she's cast them, I can promise every actor comes away from their experience better for the time spent under her direction. She's a leader in our theatrical community for good reason, and I too, never leave an encounter with her as anything less than inspired and ready for anything.”
