She formerly served as Education Manager at Vermont Stage, helming a vibrant Vermont Young Playwrights Festival.

Aly has worked extensively as a performer & director with Vermont-based theater companies, such as Middlebury Acting Company, Vermont Stage, Lost Nation, VT Shakespeare Festival, Champlain College, & Pride Theater.

Aly has received a Baryshnikov Arts Center Fellowship (NYC). As a member of The Miss Rockaway Armada, she designed and installed a 100’ x 30’ mural for Philadelphia’s renowned Mural Arts and collaboratively generated a flotilla performance space utilizing salvaged materials on the Schuylkill River with Philadelphia Art Alliance. Aly is also a skilled milliner, having built custom hats for the National Tour of Mary Poppins (2012) and for New York boutique Feinman Hats (2006-2010).
