Sunday Serenity: Inside Tony Winner Kara Young's Weekend Routine
For Kara Young, the Tony Award-winning actress known for her electrifying stage performances, Sundays are a sacred time of rejuvenation and personal reflection. Far from the bright lights of Broadway, her weekends are a carefully curated blend of relaxation, creativity, and self-care.
Young typically begins her Sunday with a leisurely morning, often starting with a meditation practice and a light yoga session in her Brooklyn apartment. 'It's my way of grounding myself and preparing for the week ahead,' she explains. Her mornings are deliberately unhurried, featuring a homemade breakfast of fresh fruit, herbal tea, and occasionally, her signature avocado toast.
The afternoon often involves creative pursuits beyond acting. As an avid reader and writer, Young spends hours immersed in contemporary literature, frequently journaling or working on personal writing projects. She's passionate about supporting emerging playwrights and uses her Sundays to read and provide feedback on new scripts.
Family and community are also central to her Sunday routine. Young regularly connects with her family, either through video calls or in-person gatherings, maintaining strong connections despite her demanding professional schedule. She also dedicates time to community theater initiatives, mentoring young performers and staying connected to her artistic roots.
As evening approaches, Young winds down with simple pleasures: preparing a nourishing meal, listening to jazz records, and reflecting on the week past. Her Sundays are a testament to the importance of balance, creativity, and personal wellness in a high-intensity artistic career.
