Flunked
Ashley Evans - Orlando, FL
V.17 - PTE – Colin Jackson Studio Theatre 
She followed the plan. She got the degree. She failed anyway.
Flunked is a solo storytelling dramedy with live piano about academic pressure, family expectations, and what happens when "work hard and you'll succeed" turns out to be a lie. Ashley Evans, musical director at SAK Comedy Lab, spirals from reluctant engineer to academic collapse and the long, unglamorous rebuild after.
"A very talented musician, among many other things. This lady is dope!" — Chase Padgett (6 Guitars)'

Flunked

Ashley Evans—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio Theatre

Coming to Winnipeg to premiere her first Fringe show is Ashley Evans, who brings her piano along for this great story of her personal journey. From growing up in a family with an academic Dad, where a B is not good enough, to all the ups and downs of trying to figure out and attain her goals, despite setbacks and embarrassment, it was an interesting and well told story. The piano accompaniment helps set the mood for the various parts of the story and was played wonderfully.

She is an engaging performer and I will keep an eye out in the future in case there is a return visit for a sequel on how she got involved in Orlando’s SAK Comedy Lab.
