Our Work

The Zahir creates original theater, film, and storytelling projects designed to spark conversation in an age that often discourages it. We focus on new work—bold, intimate, and alive to the anxieties and possibilities of modern life.

Our projects begin with a simple belief: that stories can pull people back into the world. At a time when screens and feeds narrow our attention, we make work that widens it. Our productions invite audiences to gather, sit together in the dark, and experience something shared—something that lingers long after the final moment.

As a newly founded company, we are building our first slate of productions. These include original plays, short films, and mixed-media storytelling experiments that explore connection, perception, and the strangeness of being alive right now.

We're currently in early development on two new plays:

Oversight by L.B. Deyo

A tense, fast-paced political and technological thriller based on the A.I. 2027 paper. We plan a table reading for January 2026.

The Egg by Noah Masterson

A surreal, darkly comic exploration of belief, responsibility, and transformation.A reading is planned for 2026. Learn more at The Egg's website.

We also plan to bring Apprehension, the critically acclaimed paranoid thriller, back to the stage within the next twelve months.

Upcoming announcements will appear here as these projects move forward. We invite you to follow along as The Zahir’s inaugural work takes shape.
