Arif Silverman is an NYC based actor and writer interested in empowering marginalized voices and creating community in novel ways. He is currently at work on a series of fantasy plays called THE TITAN CYCLE, which chronicles sixty years of political and environmental struggles in a world not unlike our own. His children’s musical THE STRAY, about three wolf cubs who are kicked out of their pack because they don’t eat meat, had its world premiere at the 14th St Y. He has four solo shows: NOLIE MIN TANGIBLE, where a dream figure divulges what he's up to while you're awake; CONSTELLARIUM, where a faraway planet adopts the people of earth after earth's destruction; GALAHAD AND THE DRAGONS, where a small rural community reckons with the arrival of a mysterious floating island; AMERICAN REFUGEE, where a cerebral monster born from white supremacy begins to plague the minds of a diversified America. He is a big fan of Shakespeare, and has been fortunate enough to play many of his favorite characters. A proud member of Actors’ Equity Association, he currently lives in Brooklyn with a manta ray plushie and a commissioned lightsaber.
