LITTLE LIVES Benefit Reading

Ashlie Atkinson

ASHLIE ATKINSON is currently on small screens everywhere as both 1880s party girl Mamie Fish on HBO's "The Gilded Age" and whatever the opposite of that is as Miss Dot on NBC's "Stumble". She also stars in the Paul Greengrass film "The Lost Bus", out on Apple TV right now. The documentary she produced (directed, filmed and edited by her husband Leon Chase), "Hank's Saloon", is currently on tour in NYC. A Theatre World Award winner as well as a Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle nominee, she has since amassed a pile of over 100 credits spread between film, tv,  theatre, and audiodrama. She is also a proud co-producer and cofounder of The 24 Hour Plays: Little Rock and a founding member of NYC's Gotham Roller Derby, where she skated under the name Margaret Thrasher, Prime Minister of Your Demise. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, filmmaker Leon Chase, but she was born in Little Rock, Arkansas -- a place where abortion is now illegal, and a place where CAF helps people. She dedicates this performance to her mom, Beth; her sister, Leah; and her niece, Sydney -- three fierce advocates for women's right to choose.
