This year marks Ashley’s 22nd production in The St. Mary’s Drama Guild! She started out in the Drama Guild as assistant director in "Annie Jr.". She then joined the production of “Guys and Dolls Jr.” and made her directorial debut was the production of “Arsenic and Old Lace”. She counts The Wicked Witch of the West in "The Wizard of Oz", Rosie Alverz in "Bye Bye Birdie", Florence Unger in "The Odd Couple: Female Version", Mrs. Potts in "Disney’s Beauty and The Beast", and Lord Farquaad in "Shrek, the Musical" as her personal favorites. She was extremely ecstatic to finally embody Henry Higgins from "My Fair Lady". She hopes one day to perform as Mama Rose in "Gypsy", and Dolly Levi in "Hello Dolly".
