is happily making her Arizona Theatre Company debut! She just finished traveling the country in the national Broadway tour of The Kite Runner, in which she played Soraya. Recent credits include Afiya in Selling Kabul (Signature Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, InterAct Theatre Company), Stephanie Rahn in Ink (Round House Theatre/Olney Theatre Center co-production), Grace Poole/Blance Ingram/Bessie in Jane Eyre (Geva Theatre) and Margot in Dial M for Murder (Geva Theatre). Awesta has lived, trained, and performed internationally, including a several-year stint in Shanghai, China, a residency with UNESCO’S International Theatre Institute in Croatia, and a fellowship at Accademia dell’Arte’s Collaborative Arts Lab in Italy. She’s a proud immigrant from Kabul, Afghanistan, and was primarily raised in San Diego, California. She holds a B.F.A. from Boston University’s School of Theatre. Thank you to Sebastian, Judy Bowman, ATC, and YOU for being in the audience! Awestazarif.com | @awestaz | #letafghangirlslearn
