I’m Mitra, it’s nice to meet yah!
MISSION: Evoke joy and build bridges.
Welcome! I'm Mitra, a proud Iranian-American and New Jersey native. I'm serious about being silly. Approaching art (and life) through a dialectical lens, I embrace the coexistence of contradictory perspectives.
In my performances, I am a vessel for each story and bring characters to life with authenticity. Comedic timing, energetic impressions, and dynamic physicality are what I do best.
In high school, I was a three-sport Varsity Captain where I channeled my competitive spirit. Being part of synergetic teams taught me how to work in an ensemble. After I tore my ACL in a basketball game in 2017, I responded with a quick six-month recovery. Two months into my rehabilitation, I placed top 5 in the Poetry Out Loud NJ State Final competition.
At Northeastern, I studied Communication, Acting, and Business. While serving as Captain of the Softball team and roles in numerous theatre productions, I’d sprint from the studio to the field. Human connection and the pursuit of mastery are at my core. The dialectic of being and doing.
Whether it be advanced 3-ball juggling, spinning a basketball on my finger, or dropping down for push-ups, creative leaders tend to call on my special skills. True to my poetic roots, I started rapping at age 11 and wrote a 7-minute rap from the perspective of Zeus for an English class project.
My family propels me because of the values we share: love, humor, education, compassion, justice, and environmentalism. My acting journey is fueled by a deep sense of gratitude for being alive and loving the little things that make life beautiful.
Woman Life Freedom.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
The world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase each other
Doesn't make any sense.”
