About Ashley Malafronte
Ashley is a Brooklyn-based theatre maker, scholar-educator, and editor who is utterly obsessed with stories and the people who tell them. As a theatre maker (director and dramaturg), Ashley focuses on radical adaptations or revivals that challenge canonicity, ensemble-driven devising processes, and work that centers community in both its development and its performance. She was the 2023 SDCF Noël Coward Fellow and has worked at Signature Theatre, Red Bull Theatre, Waterwell, Long Wharf Theatre, Arizona Theatre Company, The Brick, WOW Café Theatre, the Plaxall Gallery, the Center at West Park, A Broken Umbrella Theatre, and others. Outside of theatre practice, Ashley is Senior Editor of HowlRound Theatre Commons and works on other research/editorial projects on a freelance basis. She has taught with Waterwell, the Children\'s Theatre of Madison, and Shakespeare on the Sound, among others. Ashley holds a Master’s degree in Performance as Public Practice and a graduate certificate in Arts & Cultural Management & Entrepreneurship from UT-Austin and is pursuing a PhD in Theatre and Performance the CUNY Graduate Center.
