Krysta Rodriguez gets out from the back seat of her car service and enters through the stage door of the Imperial Theatre. She signs her name on the call board and walks up three flights of stairs with a landing offering a quick glimpse of backstage—before settling in her dressing room. She places her phone on her makeup table and takes her black and white peacoat with a yellow collar off to reveal a muted gray T-shirt.
Her dressing room is mostly bare, with white walls not yet decorated. The passion for interior decor turned into a side hustle for the actress in the pandemic. “My dressing room business has taken off in such a way, I haven't even been able to focus on mine,” the actress tells Marie Claire.
