I am a human being, nothing human can be alien to me.

Maya Angelou and Terence

Ari Deram (she/her) is a first generation Iranian-American actress. She was born and raised in the beautiful beach cities of Los Angeles, CA.

Ari’s love for acting was initially sprung by her deep passion for singing, which seems to have followed her everywhere in life. Seriously, she is always singing. Like, always. When did she fall in love with acting? She suspects it seeped into her subconscious between the first and 300th watch of The Sound of Music as a toddler.

She has performed and sang on iconic stages including The Pantages Theatre (Hollywood), The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (LA), and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre (London).

Amongst her many goals in Film and TV, one of her aspirations is to be a role model to young people of the MENA and Iranian communities through her involvement in forward moving work: work that shows Middle Eastern people as human beings, not stereotypes. She is excited and hopeful for what the future holds.

I add my own love to the history of people who have loved beautiful things, and looked out for them, and pulled them from the fire, and sought them when they were lost, and save them while passing them along literally from hand to hand, singing out brilliantly from the wreck of time to the next generations of lovers, and the next.

Donna Tartt

Anik (she/her/hers) is a proud representative of Ketchum, Idaho. A surprising haven for the arts, Ketchum provided the opportunity to study with some of the finest actors that she has met at The Spot Theatre. Anik is committed to bringing complex characters alive and has a deep love of Shakespeare. She recently nurtured this love as Malvolio in Twelfth Night at Shakespeare’s Globe. Raised in the mountains, she grew to be a lifelong learner and an enthusiastic outdoorsman. Offstage, she can be found in the river, writing, playing pond hockey, reading compelling fiction, playing her guitar, and fangirling over her dog Hap. Recent theater credits include Queen Isabeau in Joan of Arc, Juror #3 in Twelve Angry Jurors, and Sherri in American Hero.

My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me and I pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seem totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible

Alex Honnold

For Rory Grace Wagner (she/her), home is a relative thing. She discovered life outside of the familiar surroundings of Beverly Hills, Michigan when at the age of 6, she moved to Shanghai, China and thus discovered her passion for performance and adventure. Her love of characters began in middle school with the roles of Mungo, Scarecrow, and Eliza Doolittle. While producing iMovie trailers about Hubba Bubba Gum and Polly Pockets, her enthusiasm for filmmaking began to emerge. A born performer, Rory began to develop her career at the Shanghai American School with a faculty of accomplished performers from around the world. Returning to the United States, Rory joined a nationally recognized college preparatory school known for their performing arts faculty and facilities. She continued to grow her love for all facets of the arts not only through a variety of performances but also student directing and student filmmaking. She worked on 48-hour film projects during the summers and spent weeks at performing arts camps such as the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Ontario, Canada. Rory honed her craft in London, England as she prepared for the role of Viola in Twelfth Night. She possesses an inclination to travel the world and explore…adventure and curiosity is her middle name. Rory cannot wait to bring joy to the world through her creative and artistic endeavors.

If you don’t tell or show it, it’s erased—it was so great, and it will be like it never
happened.

Michaela Coel

Born and raised in New York City, Zoé Girod is the daughter of French/Swiss parents and grew up bilingual in French and English. Her passion for acting emerged in her early teens through school performances and training with The Arts Effect Theater. She received the Best Female Actress Award as Eve in Et Dieu Créa la Femme at LFNY’s Première Scène Theatre Festival. Academically driven, Zoé considered numerous paths—physics being one of them—but her drama training at LaGuardia High School set her on an unstoppable trajectory: she would be an actor. She chose Rutgers to pursue her BFA in acting, drawn to its Meisner training and its conservatory at Shakespeare’s Globe in London. A gifted visual artist and a lover of dance, Zoé writes, shoots, and edits films. Throughout COVID-19, she worked as the editor for The Peace Studio, a foundation promoting peace through the arts.

Zoé recently played Agatha in The Moors, Malvolio in Twelfth Night at Shakespeare’s Globe, Agnès Sorel in Joan of Arc, and Juror #1/Foreman in Twelve Angry Jurors. Her film work includes Hannah in I’m Here, for which she was nominated Best Supporting Actress by Indie Short Fest, Los Angeles. She appears as Young Starlet in Hulu’s drama miniseries, Pam & Tommy.
