ASHE chronicles the events surrounding the pivotal moment when Arthur Ashe's HIV diagnosis is on the verge of being exposed by the press. As a public figure, Arthur faces a profound betrayal as the world feels entitled to the most private corners of his life, while his childhood friend Doug Smith pushes him to disclose the truth. Written by Krystle Dellihue and directed by Lynch Travis, the play examines questions of public entitlement to private information and is presented as a reading with talkback as part of the 2026 Michigan Playwrights Festival.
