She has played many roles in PTG, both onstage and behind the scenes. Recent work includes Marie Antoinette in The Revolutionists, Joan in Melancholy Play, and co-producer of NEO XIII.

When she’s not working on a production Asha automatically navigates to her charging dock and powers down.

Outside of PTG, Ave is on exec for IMPROVment and has been a sound designer and actor for the theater department.

You may have heard rumors that Ave used to be the PTG exec baby, but that is not true and they are not a baby at all and totally never have been.
