My Story

My name is Zakaria, or you can call me Zak for short. I'm a performing artist based in Chicago, IL. Originally from New Jersey & the son of two incredibly hard-working immigrant parents from Egypt & Lebanon respectively. I seek to create & take part in artistry which helps to bridge the gap of understanding across humanity. Ultimately, I want to bring people closer toward one another through performance. In the spring of 2026, I will graduate from The Theatre School at DePaul University with a BFA in Acting.
