Once upon a time, at the turn of the century, he was a mathematician, then famous vampire…well, he played such on CAT’s stage anyways. Then he built a few sets and then afterwards he was a sound designer for CAT for more years than he remembers. For FIREFLIES, a good portion of anything that’s not a live spoken “line” comes from his imagination and his computer.

Ashton is not a stranger to the HATTheatre stage. He is a student in the institution's adult class, taught by Vickie Scallion. His experience through class and showcases has taught him the skill of set design and blocking. Ashton thanks Ann Davis and CAT Theatre for the opportunity to work backstage for FIREFLIES.

Dinah is excited to be working backstage again, after a many year absence from the theatre.
