Ashley Cole is an actress, writer, and producer hailing from New York with a passion for comedy and a drive to create. After a brief career as an accountant, she gave up her clear trajectory, benefits, and 401K to forge a creative path. Ashley quickly immersed herself in consistent study with acting coaches Bob Krakower and Allen Savage, the Alexander Technique, and the UCB improv program.

Opting for fulfillment over practicality changed Ashley’s life. With intention, she continues to further develop her career by creating thought-provoking, relatable content. In 2015 after breaking her neck in a ladder accident, Ashley explored a myriad of ways to find humor in otherwise terrifying experiences (see Lily & Anne). Her first foray into a writing career, the comedy web series garnered the interest of industry veteran Tony Thomas, who served as a mentor further developing the series.

With a distinct vision for honing her craft and building community, Ashley has spent the last decade producing live theatrical events in beautiful and unique locations. The most recent event being a staged performance of her television comedy pilot, Lodged, at the Houdini Estate. See the EVENTS page for more info!
