Was acting always your

first love?

Acting, yes—but essentially, I like

telling and being part of stories. I love

discovering new people, uncovering

the imagination of the writer, adding

to it and shaping it.

Tell us a bit about your experience

as a student in the US.

I had a good time at the Alliance

Theatre group, while graduating

in psychology in Atlanta. They had

a great team of ‘power women’—

the artistic director Susan Booth,

producer and casting director

Jody Feldman and director of new

projects Celise Kalke. I was a literary

intern and I acted in their show

called Tennis in Nablus.

For Jim Sarbh, it’s the

script that matters and

not the length of his roles
