Zoya Sami (Whisper)
I have been acting in theater for 3 years. I have performed 6 plays, 8 if you are counting this upcoming Virtual Fortune Teller and the live Saturday class. When I’m not acting I’m usually riding my bike and adopting more cats and dogs. My other passions are reading, singing, gardening, and cooking vegan food. I live in Miami Springs with my dad, mom, and slightly annoying brother. My family is from Iran, but my brother and I were born in Miami. I love acting at the Pelican Playhouse because people there are always so nice, and when I’m on stage or on Zoom I am HAPPY!
