              KERRY ASHTON
            An Overview of a Varied and Multi-Talented 
                           Career in the Performing Arts

Kerry Ashton's memoir, SAINT UNSHAMED: A Gay Mormon's Life, will be published and released to the general public on April 27, 2019, but it can be pre-ordered on this website in four different formats, as a Hardcover Book, as an E-Book, as an Audio Book, as a Paperback. Raised Mormon in Pocatello, Idaho, Kerry graduated from Brigham Young University in the 1970s where many of the most dramatic events detailed in his memoir took place.

Kerry began his professional acting career in Los Angeles, appearing first on television in the first two seasons of THREE’S COMPANY on ABC, playing one of Jack's buddies, and later with Cesar Romero and Eve Arden in NBC’s WHODUNNIT?

Leaving Hollywood for New York City in 1979, Kerry's New York acting credits include the starring role of Max in PAINT BY NUMBERS at the 78th Street Theatre and later in workshop productions at Broadway’s Circle-In-The-Square Theatre and at the Ensemble Studio Theatre. He also created the leading role of Nick in the Off-Broadway production of Richard Hall's HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY! at The Glines. In film he appeared in FALLING IN LOVE, with Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro; and in the TV films, RAGE OF ANGELS with Jaclyn Smith and in SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY with Maureen Stapleton.

Kerry began writing at an early age and wrote his first play BUFFALO HEAD NICKELS  at the age of 17, and published it with Pioneer Drama Service at the age of 18. He has since written and published several plays including the full-character play, MY LIFE AS OSCAR WILDE, and a screenplay of the same name. RED HOT MAMA, The New Sophie Tucker Musical,  based upon the life of Sophie Tucker and the many great songs she made famous in her long and storied career; was published in 2015, and like most of Ashton's works, is available for purchase at the website's store.

Additionally, Kerry has written and recorded several songs, including the entire original musical score for his one-man play, THE WILDE SPIRIT. The original Off-Broadway Cast Recording on CD of the play, as well as several of Kerry's other original songs, are available to listen to on this site or to purchase at the website's Store as recordings and/or as published vocal selections. 

​Kerry is also an accomplished and experienced Director and Producer, of stage, film and television productions. Some of his work as Director and Producer are available at the website tore.
