          Hi! Bonjour! Привет!

           

          I'm Aisling ("Ash-ling") Murphy. My pronouns are she/her.

           

          I'm based in Toronto, ON. I work in the Radio Room at the Toronto Star and as Senior Editor at Intermission Magazine.

           

          Feel free to contact me for:

          • Freelance dramaturgy, translation (French-English), transcription, copyediting/proofreading, or document design. 
          • Existential chats on the nature of Canadian theatre criticism and Taylor Swift.
          • Resources pertaining to Sarah Kane, Canadian theatre criticism, and/or verbatim theatre.
          • Brunch recs in Toronto.

          Bio

           

          Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Aisling is a playwright, critic, dramaturg, and academic.

           

          Aisling is the Senior Editor at Intermission Magazine and President of the Canadian Theatre Critics Association. Her writing's been featured a bunch of places, including The Fulcrum, Maclean's, and the Toronto Star.

           

          In 2020, Aisling's first play, Feast, was developed with the Tarragon Theatre Young Playwrights Unit in Toronto; following the closures spurred by COVID-19, Feast was granted an #ArtApart grant by the National Theatre School of Canada. Feast is currently being further developed at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Djanet Sears. Feast is featured as a short case study in the Routledge anthology Undergraduate Research in Theatre.

           

          Aisling graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Honours BA in Theatre from the University of Ottawa in June 2021. She is currently pursuing her MA in Theatre, Drama, and Performance Studies at the University of Toronto.

           

          She's also a Taurus (if that wasn't abundantly clear), and has a tabby cat named Fig.
