Referencing the COVID-19 safety protocols, she said, “We have masks, we have shields, we are in our pods… we don’t all exit or enter in the same way… We rehearse in our masks… the whole set gets wiped down… A lot of work, time, energy, money, effort, but I’m so grateful that we are doing it… There’s just some new protocols.”

Chrissy admitted the pandemic hasn’t been easy on her. She shared, “I have been well. The first couple months of quarantine were really tricky. I was really dealing with some anxiety and uncertainty.
