Alison has worked with Craig Slate from American Conservatory Theater, Sara Kliban from International Talent Casting, Henry-Alex Rubin from Smuggler, Elaine Clark from Voice One, Giorgio Savona, and David Bellantoni, among others.

She has appeared in several Off-off Broadway shows in Times Square, including her lead role as Girl in “Drink and a Drag” at Manhattan Rep., Terry in the “Nighty Nite Show” at the PIT Loft, Shade/Lobster in “Emission” at Producers’ Club Theatres, and Old Lady in “Double Take” at Manhattan Rep. Alison was the only undergraduate to be cast in two productions with the MFA graduating class of 2015. She performed in both The New School for Drama’s MFA New Visions Directing Festival and New Voices Playwriting Festival where she played Girl with Telescope/Lost Girl in “The Skriker,” and Party Girl in “Temporal.” She also created her own improvised show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC) at their Halloween Gala. Her bookings from The New School for Drama include: The Thief in “The Balcony,” Lili in “Women and Wallace,” and Rebecca in “What I Found in Montana.
She performed at the Tunnel of Oppression event in the East Village, NY, to shine a light on the issues of race, identity, and injustice. She wrote, produced, directed, and starred in “The In Between” which shines a light on the lack of diversity in theatre for mixed race actors. As someone who is mixed race (half Indian and Pakistani / half Irish/British) with dual citizenship (US / British Citizenship) it’s an issue close to her heart.
Alison was the Lead in the TV Pilot “Girl Power,” a supporting role in the TV Pilot “Dual Arrangements,” and worked with TVASIA on the TV show “Samachari News” where she wrote her own comedy sketches focusing on the issues of cultural appropriation, women’s rights, and cultural identity. Alison appeared in “The Nighty Nite Show” at The PIT Loft, and continues to shake things up on the subway and streets of New York with her Improvised Public Comedy. She also does Stand Up in a fish costume. To see more, check out her comedy website: http://www.soberfloppyfish.com
