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 in early development on Noah Masterson's play

The Zahir Nights

A series of benefit performances featuring short plays, monologues, and other entertainment.
Our first Zahir Nights performance will be in Nerd Nite Austin on May 28, 2026 at Barrel ‘o Fun.
It will feature a lecture on the history of theater and two short plays: God of Sun and Light by Brian Wittenbrook and Beggars When They Die by L.B. Deyo. Starring Zashir company members Laura D'Eramo and Shannon McCormick.

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