Mahshad Zareizadeh plays Shideh in WISH YOU WERE HERE.

Mahshad (Mah-shaad→ mɑːʃɑːd) is a whimsical spirit with a contagious laugh and a hopeful heart, always seeking beauty in the mundane. As a pre-med student, she charts her own course, piecing together answers quietly, never wishing to trouble anyone. She sees the world through a vibrant, artistic lens, always searching for the extraordinary in the everyday.

WISH YOU WERE HERE
by Sanaz Toossi
Directed by Naghmeh Samini

June 11 - July 5

With tenderness, ferocity, and wit, five best friends lean on each other in the face of uncertainty.  Spanning 13 years of friendship, a tight-knit group of women have their bonds tested as political unrest spreads through Iran. With humor and urgency, the play captures the fierce resilience of connection when everything else is slipping away. 

“It’s a script of harrowing beauty. A triumphant mosaic of friendship and loss framed by the heart-wrenching effects of political upheaval.” – Broadway World UK 

“A love letter to friendship.” – The Guardian
