Summary
Whether it's about immigrants, Iranians, Lebanese people or Jews in Warsaw or transgender characters or whatever those characters may be, I feel that, especially theatre, is like a mirror that you hold up to society either to its past, its possible future, its darknesses, its lightness -- things that we don't want to engage with every day in life because it actually has real-day consequences, but as actors we get to share that with people to have that experience with us, and I think it changes people. Pooya Mohseni is a multi-award-winning Iranian American actor, writer, filmmaker and transgender activist. She is making her Broadway debut in Sanaz Toossi's Pulitzer winning play "English" at the Roundabout Theater.
