Ashley Bishop made her ground breaking acting debut in a little musical entitled Fully Alive at Maplewood Elementary. She played the role of 'Ashley', a role that was written specifically for her because of her captivating audition singing 'I'm a Little Teapot'. Quickly after the director said that she had to have Ashley in the show even if there wasn't a part there for her. From then on the world only looked bright for this young hopeful performer. She was soon playing 'Pink Two' a chorus kid in Joseph and the Amazing Techni-Colored Dream Coat at the Ford Centre which opened the doors to 'Ensemble' in Anything Goes. Ashley attended Capilano College where her acting chops got a work out in such roles as 'The Butterfly' in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, 'Communist' in The Measures Taken, and part one of five of 'The Yellow Brick Road' in their musical The Wiz. (That last role was a difficult one as she was in gold lamé spandex and on a scooter the entire show.) Now Ashley resides at the Giggledam Theatre hob-knobbing with the best in their field and enjoying every single second she gets. This is her very first show with the Giggledam and to this she says: "This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship!"
