Directing/Theater Arts
For over a decade, I've worked with young performers to help them reach their full potential while creating visually stunning performances. Rooted in an ensemble-style theater mindset, the shows I direct allow all members of the team to shine and grow.
I Believe That Arts Education…
Is for everyone. No matter your age, race, gender, or skill level. All are welcome.
Should focus on student growth. No one is perfect, and no one is expected to be.
Values the journey of creation and discovery over the final outcome.
Promotes empathy, understanding, and critical thinking skills.
Encourages Inclusivity and diversity in participation.
Creates a safe and supportive space for all students to express themselves.
Fosters well-rounded students who are strong, independent thinkers that will change the world.
Arts Organizations I've Taught/Directed With:
"Mr. Ashton is the most fun, authentic, enthusiastic, and joyful theater teacher ever!"
