action is a difficult measurement to perfect.”
In addition to staying active with musical
theater, Mehrnaz also plays the bassoon in
her high school wind ensemble, designs
clothing through her school’s fashion club
and practices photography. For now, she’s
excited to work on producing “Inbox Full” for
the stage.
“I’m thrilled to have all my supportive
friends and family actually see something I
have worked on,” she says.
After high school, Mehrnaz plans to major
in creative writing and film studies for her
undergraduate degree, and then focus on
filmmaking and dramatic writing in graduate
school.
“The end plan is hopefully screenwriting,”
she says. ■
