Musical Theatre performer, Ashley Vankirk, knew she wanted a "day job" that still centered around performing while she pursued her theatre and film dreams. She knew Orlando would be the place to go because of all the theme parks. She was pleasantly surprised to learn there were many other performing opportunities outside the theme parks as well. She began performing as a party princess for Tutu Tales Party Productions and became the top booked performer for many years. Through that company she perfected character impressions, improv and character integrity, makeup skills, mascot performing, mermaid swimming, face paint, and so much more. 

Alongside these gigs she became a tour guide at Chocolate Kingdom.

She began performing with Odd-O-Ts Entertainment in 2021 which included contract at the Kennedy Space Center and Seaworld Orlando as an actor.

She Then was hired by Legoland Florida to perform as one of the Lego Friends Characters, which led to many more seasonal roles, opening new shows and roles and her first theme park vocalist and stilt walker role. 

Since then the roles and opportunities have continued to come her way. She then got performing roles at Seaworld and Universal Studios, where she now works full time, got her job at Capone's Dinner and Show, and has worked for many different gig companies including Hardrive Entertainment, CrashUrParty, Palm Beach Stilts, Stilt Up and more!
