Written and performed by Sohailla Mahjour, directed and developed by Pati Amoroso, Raghs is a tour-de-force that captures the time in a girl's life when she most defines herself by her relationships.
Mahjour has a fantastic chameleon-like ability to portray the Iranian-American Sarina (loosely based on herself) and her father, her best friend, and her older second cousin (for whom she has feelings) on a blank stage with no costume changes. It is always clear when she has changed character, through her use of different voices, postures, and body language. Her one prop is a scarf, which she changes into a hijab for prayer, drapes as a pashmina as an accessory, or loops around her arms as a backpack for going to high school.
