That One Audition with Alyshia Ochse SHEILA CARRASCO: Shape-Shifting into Flower on 'Ghosts'
Today we sit down with Sheila Carrasco, who brings “Flower” to life on the hit CBS comedy Ghosts. After earning her BFA at NYU, she spent three years self-producing plays without an agent before pursuing an MFA at Harvard’s American Repertory Theater, where she honed her comedic skills and character work. That path led her to the Groundlings’ famed Sunday Company, where she found her voice and signed with CAA. Sheila shares the twists of her Ghosts audition including the COVID shutdown that nearly derailed it to the creative choices that shaped Flower. She also gives insights on ensemble improv and lessons learned from industry veterans, including her time as a stand-in on The Good Place. Her story is a testament to perseverance, finding your niche, and why it “takes 10 years to start working as an actor” and “20 years to build a career.”
These are the unforgettable stories that landed Sheila Carrasco right here.
