    Ashia Collins on Empowerment, Performance, and Bringing Boop! to Ensemble Arts Philly

    In this episode of Conversations With Toi, we’re welcoming the radiant Ashia Collins, who brings the character Carol Evans to life in the Broadway‑bound musical Boop! — coming to Ensemble Arts Philly from November 17–29. Ashia joins us to talk about stepping into a role rooted in joy, friendship, and the kind of bold energy that makes Boop! such a vibrant, modern reimagining of an icon. We dive into her journey as a performer, the heart behind Carol Evans, and what it means to be part of a production that blends nostalgia, empowerment, and pure theatrical fun. Ashia shares how the cast built community on and off stage, the creative process behind shaping this new musical, and why Philly audiences are in for something truly special. We also explore the magic of Ensemble Arts Philly — how the city’s arts scene continues to uplift performers, spark connection, and create space for stories that make us feel seen. Ashia reflects on the joy of bringing Boop! to a city that shows up for theater with passion and pride.

And of course, we close with a moment of intentional living — honoring the balance between ambition, artistry, and rest.
