A little about me...
Hello there! My name is Maya Shoham, I'm an Equity actress and writer based in NYC.
Not to sound pompous, or anything, but I’m certain that the meaning of life is to connect, and even more certain that art is the way to do it. Theater and film are my favorite ways to start conversations, to share truths, to ask questions, to think, to do, and to feel, to feel, TO FEEL!
I want to create and perform art that defies people’s expectations, of both human nature and what theater can be, art that strengthens our empathy, and art that makes us talk to one another. Even if all we say is “what the fuck did I just watch?” or “oh, she’s cute, is she seeing anyone?”.
