Actor
Roham Sheikhani
I have been a stage actor, poet, and playwright since 1986. My play IMAGE IS EVERYTHING won a Rockefeller Foundation For The Arts in 1984 as the first bilingual/ cross-cultural play in the United States in 1993, and was staged in San Francisco Intersections For The Arts in1994. I have appeared in almost four original plays per year (Comedy, musical, Drama)since 1986; some written by myself, as well as by my friend Farhad Aeesh.
Over the years I have developed my own style of "Silent-Demonstration-Theater", where dramatic "pauses" and facial expressions are key to narrate a story.
