Allison is a deviser at heart, meaning that she specializes in making theatre. Sometimes she operates as a performer, other times a playwright, sometimes a director, and occasionally she's in the belly of a theater furiously gluing a prop together. All of these different hats she wears ultimately lead to telling a good story that will engage the audience from start to finish.

As a writer, Allison is characterized by humor, honesty, and heart all derived from her training as a physical performer and clown. Her scripts welcome playfulness from directors and actors and weave together humor and tragedy in a way that leads the audience to contemplate some truth about the human condition.
