Making Culture, Not Just Theater with Melory Mirashrafi

What if the most important thing a leader brings into the room… isn’t a resume, but a sense of culture?

In this thoughtful and timely conversation, Melory Mirashrafi shares why they consider themselves a culture worker first, and how that lens transforms the way we create theater. From Persian epics to Pulitzer-winning plays, Melory unpacks what it takes to build spaces rooted in trust, agency, and care.

This one’s wise, grounded, and full of quiet fire.

Enjoy the episode, friends!
