Woolly Mammoth Theatre - Main Stage, Washington, DC

About the Show

Wooly Mammoth presents After Ashley, by Gina Gionfriddo, directed by Lee Mikeska Gardner. Featuring Bruce Nelson, Marni Penning & Michael Willis.

In this blisteringly funny and heartbreakingly truthful satire, a teenager is unwillingly thrust into the national spotlight when a family tragedy becomes talk-show fodder. Focusing a critical eye on our obsession with reality TV and public grieving, this critically-acclaimed new work takes a no-holds barred look at how the American media crosses the line between reporting the truth and exploiting it.

No 2pm show Sunday, Sept. 11.
