It's been six years since I have been back to Edmonton, and I am so happy to have been asked to come back and be a part of the Jubilations family. My last show was in 2003, when I played Endora in Betwitched. Other shows include Company of Three, Magnum PUI, and Agatha Crumblys - The Jukebox Cracked. In 2007 I moved back to my hometown of Quesnel, B.C. where I work as a vocal coach, and sing in three separate bands. Special thanks to Randy, Doug and Janet for having me back, and to a super fun group of cast mates. I look forward to sharing lots of laughs with each of you. To all of you reading this, thanks for your continuing support of this theatre. I sincerely hope you have a wonderful evening.

After graduating from Grant MacEwan University's Theatre Art Program in 2010 has kept herself busy with the start of her singing/songwriter career. Putting the plans to record her first solo album on hold she finds herself back in the theatre for the first time since Universiy and can not be happier. Ashley is thrilled to be playing the crazy stalker lady in this production with Jubilations and knows all you home town folks will enjoy the show. Cheers!
