Cast:
Ash - Evangeline Osbon

Ash and Jaz have been best friends since they can remember, and Ash knows she can only trust Jaz to keep her secret – that ever since she was little, she’s pulled out her own hair. She doesn’t talk to anyone else about it, and she spends hours every day trying to cover it up. So when Ash’s trichotillomania is suddenly the talk of their school, she knows there’s only one person to blame.
But when the two former friends unexpectedly find themselves face to face again after a summer apart, Ash finally feels like she’s in control. It doesn’t matter that she’s walked out of a party to go back to her old school’s sewing room, to steal back a project she says she doesn’t even care about. She’s at a new college now, with new friends and a new buzzcut, and she’s only thinking about the future. So who cares if Jaz is ready to talk – because Ash isn’t ready to listen.
PULL is a young adult play about friendship, control, and what it actually means to get better.
