“Theatre saved my life. I was going through a very difficult time, a lot of personal changes and turmoil in my life. I was in a play for this first time, and I felt so alive, beautiful, and empowered. I felt hope in the world, and I felt for the first time in a long time that I could do something about the things that are important to me, through this medium.” – actor and musician Munaf Alsafi
