WORK WITH US

A cast of colorful characters and actors stands laughing on stage.

A space for the dreamers, builders, and believers.

Here, you get to choose your circle and surround yourself with people who offer real support and honest feedback. Here, we build stories, plays, and productions that only come from the inspiration of true creative kinship.

JOIN THE CIRCLE

Theatre that dares to mean something.

We want the stories we write and produce to transform the audience and the performers. Our characters have something to say, something to learn, and someone to become… just like all of us.

That’s why we focus on lore from distant eras. We return to the past because it still has things to teach us. We don’t dwell there, but we do listen. History doesn't always repeat, sometimes it just rhymes, and in those echoes we can find the truths that shape who we are today.

When we compare where we came from to where we want to go, we become better humans, better neighbors, and better storytellers.

What we look for in a show:

  1. Set in past eras

  2. Challenge social norms

  3. Honest historical reflection

  4. Diversity and inclusion

  5. Authentic human emotion

  6. Character transformation

  7. Deconstruction of binary thinking and harmful “archy” and “isms”

  8. Women & LGBTQIA+ empowerment

Notes from the Actors

Actors Work With Me

It was a wonderful experience working with Eralore Studios.  Not only was the team incredibly professional, but I felt appreciated as an artist, performer, and collaborator.  It was exciting to help develop a new piece, and they were extremely receptive to my feedback. Even with a tight timeline to produce a full production, it was seamless. I highly recommend Eralore Studios and look forward to participating in their future projects.

Getting to work with Eralore Studios was truly a highlight of my artistic career. Ashley masterfully creates a space grounded in acceptance, exploration, and play; and through that, creativity and joy blossom. Working on By Way of the Sea allowed me to connect with incredible artists and collaborators, as well as dive into a world that nourished my artistic spirit and inner child. It was such a gift to be allowed to play make believe for a bit, and document it so that others could escape to that world as well.

— Brenna Patzer | Elena, By Way of the Sea

Ashley fostered a collaborative energy creating a true camaraderie that our cast brought into the studio. You can hear the genuine connection between us in the final edit. Her background as a performer informs her storytelling and approach as a director. She gives actors the space to discover their character and the flexibility to find their voice. I’d work with Eralore again in a New York minute.

— John R. Smith Jnr. | Captain Jeremiah, By Way of the Sea

One of my favorite things to do as an actor is to play a brand new character, where I get to help develop them into becoming fully human. Ashley grants the actors the playing room to find the character’s truth within themselves as well as in the world they are in. It was a joy developing The Haverton Howler and getting to bring part of me to Sylvan Arthur Brooks.
