Testimonials:

“Ashil is an incredible actor and dramaturg. I worked with them in group settings and one-on-one on my play Black Sky, and they were such a careful, tender listener and able to receive both my thoughts on the play and my personal experiences with warmth and grace. Ashil also has acute insight and intuitive feel for understanding character motivation and political themes, and I found their analysis and interpretation of my writing to be helpful and in tune with my playwriting intentions -- which I had trouble voicing myself! Ashil brought me awareness and a vocabulary for discussing my work, and I highly recommend them for anyone working on a sensitive script.” - Amanda Andrei, Playwright
