#onlyintermission

Yesterday would have marked the one year anniversary of @hadestown on Broadway. Once this brief intermission has ended we know #springwillcomeagain so we raise our cups to the cast and crew and look forward to #livinitupontop again. #hadestown #anaismitchell #rachelchavkin #orpheus #eurydice #hades #persephone #reevecarney #evanoblezada #ambergray #patrickpage #broadway #musical #onlyintermission #intermission https://www.instagram.com/p/B_IFuKcgIIx/?igshid=3dk7yxr5iynw

During this time of quarantine, it’s been challenging to stay motivated to work on my craft. ⁣ ⁣ As I continue to train, some days it feels like I’m just going through the motions. However, some of my simple practices have helped me shift my mindset.⁣ ⁣ Keeping my goals in my sight lines gives me that extra push to keep going. Changing my Zoom background is something so simple that continually reinforces one of my career goals, which is to play Elphaba Thropp in @wicked_musical 💚⁣ ⁣ I have at least 10-12 Zoom calls minimum each week for work/class which allows me to see this background often. ⁣ ⁣ Almost every time I have a Zoom meeting, someone will ask me: “What is your background of?” And my reply is consistently some variation of, “This is the stage I will perform on one day. I want everyone to get use to seeing me on it.” 😎👏🏽⁣ ⁣ Photo and video are two of the most powerful mediums. Find creative ways to use them to manifest your dreams. ⁣ ⁣ Now of course, putting in the work is the other piece of this right? Check out my IG story to read how I’ve been delving deep into this Wicked material.⁣ ⁣ I hope this simple tip helps to love on and nurture your creative souls! As artists, we are all really missing the theatre with everyday that goes by, but Broadway will be back y’all. It’s #OnlyIntermission 😉✨⁣ ⁣ Thank you @zoom for the virtual background feature which is helping me to manifest my goals into existence 😉✨⁣ ⁣ #kaishacreates #kaishainspires #wickedthemusical #elphaba #elphabathropp #broadwaybound #boundforbroadway #lifeofanactress #musicaltheatrelife #musicaltheatre #newyorktheatre #manifestingdreams #nycactress #nycactor #blackactress (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD36b3oDp9G/?igshid=ylce2jel7ifx

The first Sunday in June has held a special place in my heart. Once a year I would see the companies of shows on Broadway - a mythical place I wasn’t sure really existed - live on tv in a celebration of theatre. . This photo was taken 5 years ago (!!!) at the Tony Pop-Up shop in Midtown, back when that was a thing. Even then, I had never in my life believed I would be in NYC, enjoying theatre in a real way. . Today would have been my first Tony Awards working for a major Broadway company. Sad to be missing it, but I know there is bigger work being done in the world right now. . Patience will be worth the deafening applause on the other side. ♥️ #OnlyIntermission . . . #NYC #Actress #Director #FemaleDirector #Producer #Stage #Screen #Theatre #Film #Playbill #IMDB #Broadway #OffBroadway #Show #Production #Audition #Casting #BTS #ActorsLife #Work #Hustle #Art #HelloMyNameIsAshleyPleasePayMeForActing #AndDirecting #AndDeveloping #JustPayMeToMakeThings #WeWereThatKid #TonyAwards #Tonys2020 (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBIoOjmDE6S/?igshid=lwv0gncvxp65
