Long version:
Hi there!
My name is Ashley Deschamps and I’m a New York based actor, singer, and confident mover whose just really excited to be here! I was born and raised on Long Island and will proudly let you know of this fact any time I have the chance. I found my love of theatre through frequent trips on the LIRR to see shows that I could only dream one day to be apart of. This love of all things creative was fueled by the support and care from mentors I met in my training at Long Island University, where I will be graduating this May with a BFA in Musical Theatre.
Through college, I studied forms of theatre like Shakespeare, Meisner, and Stanislavski. These methods of mining through text have inspired me to find the detail and specificity in the simplest of dialogue.
As an artist I enjoy pieces that instill hope and showcase the joys of simply being alive. It’s something so easy to lose yet so important for people to see, especially today. Even in the most dramatic works, I find it so compelling when a story can leave a glimmer of hope and inspire audiences to keep going even in their hardest moment.
Outside of the theatre, I enjoy biking and collecting vintage comic books with my dad (Avengers specifically). I have two dogs names Shaggy and Romeo and they are spoiled rotten. And finally, my family is the most important thing in my life (very cliche but true).
Thank you for reading:)
