Fringe performer wows Drama students

Jo Harford —

We were fortunate to host Austin Dean Ashford in the King's Drama Department today.

Austin came to Dunedin from California for the Fringe Festival, which was unfortunately cancelled. He is a solo performer who has won; 

TEN AWARDS - At the American College Theatre Festival in Washington DC, including a Hip Hop Theatre Award and Outstanding New Playscript. 

BEST SHOW WINNER - San Diego International Fringe Festival, 2018. 

MOST OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WINNER - NZ Fringe & Dunedin Fringe, 2019. 

His enthusiasm was an inspiration to our students and we look forward to seeing him at Dunedin Fringe 2021!
