After this Ashland appeared as Kathi Hovach in the premiere of George Ross and Rose C. Feld's *Sophie Halenczik* at the [The Playhouse on Rodney Square](/source/The_Playhouse_on_Rodney_Square) (PRS) in Wilmington in November 1944;[10] a role she repeated at the Locust Street Theatre in Philadelphia.[11] She returned to the PRS in 1946 as Bessie Clary in [Vera Caspary](/source/Vera_Caspary)'s *Laura* with a cast led by [Miriam Hopkins](/source/Miriam_Hopkins) and [Tom Neal](/source/Tom_Neal).[12] She next appeared in the Broadway production of *[Finian's Rainbow](/source/Finian's_Rainbow)* as a replacement cast member sometime during its 1947-1948 run.[13]

In 1950 Ashland portrayed Wilson in [Rudolf Besier](/source/Rudolf_Besier)'s *[The Barretts of Wimpole Street](/source/The_Barretts_of_Wimpole_Street)* at the Flatbush Theatre in [Brooklyn](/source/Brooklyn) with a cast led by [Susan Peters](/source/Susan_Peters).[14] In July 1951 she replace actress [Mary Finney](/source/Mary_Finney) as The Madam in Broadway musical *[Make a Wish](/source/Make_a_Wish_(musical))*.[13] While not in the opening night cast,[15] she portrayed Bessie in the original Broadway production of [Tennessee Williams](/source/Tennessee_Williams)'s *[The Rose Tattoo](/source/The_Rose_Tattoo)* in 1951.[3][16] When the show went on tour directly from New York to Philadelphia's Locust Street Theatre in November 1951 Ashland remained in that part.[16] Some of the other stops on *The Rose Tattoo* tour included performances at the [Colonial Theatre, Boston](/source/Colonial_Theatre_(Boston)) (1951),[17] and the [American Theater](/source/Orpheum_Theater_(St._Louis)) in St. Louis (1952).[18]

In 1953 Ashland portrayed Aunt Cissy in the musical *[A Tree Grows in Brooklyn](/source/A_Tree_Grows_in_Brooklyn_(musical))* at [Music Circus](/source/Music_Circus) after having previously performed there as Parthy in *[Show Boat](/source/Show_Boat)*.[19] That same year she appeared at the Astor Theater in Syracuse, New York as Miss Preen in *[The Man Who Came to Dinner](/source/The_Man_Who_Came_to_Dinner)*[20] and Aunt Queenie in *[Bell, Book and Candle](/source/Bell%2C_Book_and_Candle_(play))*.[21] In 1954 she portrayed the Queen of the Underworld in *Chuck Wagon of America*; a show written and staged in [Omaha](/source/Omaha) for the official celebration of the centennial of the settlement of the state of [Nebraska](/source/Nebraska).[22] In 1955 she portrayed Mrs. Mullin in [Rodgers and Hammerstein](/source/Rodgers_and_Hammerstein)'s *[Carousel](/source/Carousel_(musical))* with the [St. Louis Municipal Opera](/source/St._Louis_Municipal_Opera).[23]

While she herself was totally non-political, she was mistaken by the public for an actress similar in appearance, [Madeline Lee](/source/Madeline_Lee_(actress)), who was already on the [Hollywood blacklist](/source/Hollywood_blacklist). As a result of the confusion of identities a flood of anonymous angry phone calls were made after her appearance on the *Danger* program.
