Ari Derambakhsh is outstanding as Hermia, who transitions from sweetness to fury.

Ari Derambakhsh stuns as Hermia.

Ari Derambakhsh’s Hermia is headstrong and refreshingly modern, making her portrayal one of the most compelling I’ve seen.

REVIEWS

Derambakhsh finds hidden depths in Goli’s superficiality.
— The LA Times (English, The Old Globe)
Goli is played with sweet innocence by Ari Derambakhsh.
— The San Diego Union Tribune (English, The Old Globe)
In contrast to the world-weariness that peeks through the other characters, Derambakhsh portrays Goli with convincing innocence and naivete.
— San Diego Magazine (English, The Old Globe)
it was a very well-done show, as one would expect with that caliber of talent. There were some standouts though, Ari Derambakhsh stood out in her role as the young Goli.
— San Diego Jewish World (English, The Old Globe)

Testimonials

Ari is that rare artist, someone with great imagination but who also understands the value of pragmatic choices that root one in the real world. She is an extremely competent person who can think for herself, problem solve in the moment, and read the room for the purposes of including everyone’s input.
— Kevin Kittle; Professional Theater and Film Director, Former Associate Head of MFA/BFA Acting at Mason Gross School of the Arts Rutgers University
Ari has great passion, endless energy and generosity. She is that rare form of collaborator that gets the whole picture. She is both a visionary and truth- finder. Her choices are bold and clear, but perhaps best of all, they work from a place of understanding and humility, always passionate, always positive, always searching, never settling.
— Kian Kline-Chilton | Artistic Producer, Diversionary Theatre
