Fawzia has loved performing ever since she was a little kid keeping the other toddlers awake at daycare by singing songs from Singin in the Rain. There has never been a time she did not want to be a theatre maker.
Born to an Iraqi Muslim father and an American Catholic mother, Fawzia grew up in New York City and Southern Indiana. She is incredibly proud of her heritage and it has informed the type of theatre she wants to make.
In undergrad she studied Theatre Arts and History at Earlham College. She recently graduated from Mary Baldwin University’s Shakespeare and Performance Program. She received her Master of Letters in May 2023, and her Master of Fine Arts in May 2024.
