Exclusive Interview: Sarab Kamoo of Tipping Point Theatre’s ‘English’
Tipping Point Theatre is in its 17th season of bringing remarkable stories to Northville, MI, emphasizing family and how that can look different for so many people. What constitutes a family? Is it the blood bonds between people or are they unbreakable connections we build throughout life? In their upcoming show, English from playwright Sanaz Toossi, addresses these bonds through the themes of identity, and how culture and language are such an important part of that. Ahead of its Michigan Premiere, we spoke with Sarab Kamoo, who plays Marjan, an English Teacher preparing a class for their Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
In this exclusive interview, Sarab Kamoo discusses how deeply she appreciates and relates to the story within English. She speaks on her work as a social worker, which blends with her acting in this show, allowing her to have a stronger connection to the story and its characters, and if there is any pressure to bring English to Michigan for the first time. There’s no denying the love that Kamoo has for this play, which is only made better by acting in it with her daughter. This dynamic duo is ready to take Tipping Point Theatre by storm with English, bringing this timely story to Michigan just when it’s needed most.
