About Mayah
I direct theater that lives and breathes—works that challenge thought and offer life to fresh perspectives.
I’m a New York-based director committed to reshaping traditional theater into spaces of community care.
My practice centers the human connection and our deep need for collaboration, with a focus on uplifting marginalized groups and embracing storytelling from various perspectives.
I’m passionate about new work, revivals told through new eyes, and stories that center the experiences of Black people, queer people, womxn, and mental health.
I believe the process is just as sacred as the final performance, and at the heart of it all is a devotion to creating spaces where artists feel seen, heard, and safe to take risks.
