Ashley Ward: Coaching Improv: The Ashley Ward Story

[Ashley Ward]

I like (non biological) colons! And now I am coaching improv! And I would like to coach you! Yes you! I have been studying and performing improv nigh on 9 years now. I've studied at UCB, The Pit and the Magnet with awesome and amazing teachers like Ali Faranakhian, Armando Diaz, Kevin Scott, Jay Rhoderick, Matt Higgins, Sean Conroy, Paul Scheer, Kevin Mullaney, Dave Pasquesi, John Lutz, Kevin Dorff, Christina Gausas, blah blah blah blah blah! I also have a BFA in Musical Theater. So there!

I perform every Wednesday at 8 with Big Black Car at the Pit! I also perform in the improvised radio show 30,000 khz of Sound at the Magnet and I was recently cast as an understudy in Baby Wants Candy! And in lots and lots of other shows, from sketch to two person improv to plays to concerts to who knows what!

I've most recently been coaching Punch!, one of the new Pit house teams and I've been having a blast! So now I want more. I'm currently available on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. My rates are reasonable, I shower regularly and have a passion for improv. So try me out! You can contact me at ashleywar at gmail dot com! So do!

Hello everyone in the world! Just wanted to let you know that starting June 15th my Mondays are free for coaching improv! Yippee!! So if you rehearse on Mondays why don't you give me a go? I think it will be so much fun!!!

I'm currently coaching Dynasty from the Magnet and am finishing up 5+ months of coaching Punch from the Pit.

My email address is in the previous post. Give me a holler why don't you?

Ashley Ward is a great coach and a hilarious person.

Ashley Ward can make you not only a better performer but also a better person.

Inside Ashley Ward's head there are two smaller Ashley Wards. One is responsible for her genius and the other for coming up with cute and hilarious euphemisms for bodily functions. They are best friends.

 

[Ashley Ward]

Y'all are so sweet! Thanks! My availability has now changed! I'm free on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for some sweet, sweet coaching! Email me at ashleywar at gmail dot com! What fun we will have!!

 

[Ashley Ward]

Just wanted to alert the improv world to the fact that next Tuesday, July 21st, I'm available to coach! This is an unusual situation, so if you need coaching next Tuesday, let's do this. It is the only Tuesday I have free. Don't miss out on an experience as rare as an albino alligator, but twice as leathery and ferocious.

 

[Ashley Ward]

Hey y'all! I'm available the next two Tuesdays (August 25th and September 1st) for some sweet, sweet coaching action. Let me know if you need someone!

I wasn't recently cast as an understudy in Baby Wants Candy!

This is a lie. She was recently cast as an understudy for Baby Wants Candy, because she is an incredibly talented, smart improviser with a lot to offer.

Ha! Thanks Chris! In addition to all that has been said I'm also apparently a very sloppy typist!
