A Lie of the Mind
This winter, I’ll be understudying Beth in A Lie of the Mind at Chicago’s Raven Theatre!
Hi, I’m Maliha!
I am a first generation Pakistani American creative from Chicago, IL. Music, theatre, and writing have always been my passion, and I’m looking forward to bringing one of many fresh perspectives into an ever-evolving industry.
I believe that creation is a radical act against systems of oppression. I want to utilize my voice to help enhance the representation of marginalized artists, especially those with ethnocultural ties to the Global Southeast, inspiring positive change in public ideology and legislation. I’d like to help create new stories, while also retelling classics with deeper consideration.
This winter I’ll be understudying Beth in Sam Shepard’s A Lie of the Mind at Raven Theatre.
Polkadots
This spring, I’ll be playing Lily Polkadot in Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical at Constellation Stage and Screen.
Directed by John Tartaglia and Melanie Lockyer.
For the first time ever, Polkadots will be performed with puppets! I am so excited to bring Lily’s puppet to life through this meaningful, relevant story.
