Reviews for In the Daylight

I had a great time playing Charlotte in Tony Glazers play IN The Daylight.

we got some great press, I wish I could give Mark Pelkert a huge hug…here’s a a snippet from his review:

Why isn’t Ashley Austin Morris a star yet? After co-appearing as Charles Busch’s vengeful daughter in Die Mommie Die! and stealing the show in Fringe offering Paper Dolls, she’s toiling away in Tony Glazer’s melodramatic thriller In the Daylight…

Description: Join the famed drag legend — not to mention actor, playwright, novelist, and director — Charles Busch in a reading of All About Eve, the classic, Oscar-winning story (who could forget Bette Davis as Margo?)

Charles will share the stage with fellow actors to depict the unforgettable tale of an ingenue as she insinuates herself in to the company of an established but aging stage actress and her circle of theatre friends.

The Electric Company

My character:

Francine Carruthers
(Ashley Morris) is a power-mad teenager who wants to be the president of The Electric Company. She has the basic letter-throwing skills that members of the Company also possess. Desperate for attention, she often posts vlogs (video blogs) praising her intelligence and superiority.

A little about the show:

In 2009, the power is surging back with the all-new The Electric Company, produced by Sesame Workshop. With a cool cast of characters, amazing literacy superpowers, side-splitting cartoons, and songs that you can’t help dancing along with, this reincarnation of a television classic is sure to make an impact on the newest generation. The Electric Company aims to entertain children between the ages of 6 and 9 while simultaneously teaching four crucial areas of literacy that are challenging for struggling readers:

• Decoding: Children will increase their ability to manipulate sounds in spoken words and map those words to print.
• Vocabulary: Children will expand the amount of words (vocabulary) that they use and understand.
• Comprehension of Connected Text: Children will learn strategies that good readers use to understand connected text (phrases and sentences).
• Motivation: Children will be motivated to read connected text and express themselves using text.
