Zenobia Shroff, a SAG award nominee for The Big Sick, is an actor in American theatre, television, and film. In her solo show How to Succeed as an Ethnically Ambiguous Actor, Shroff details her astonishing, hilarious, and heart-breaking journey from Bombay to New York as she plays over 25 characters. Populating her own life story with casting directors, bosses, lovers, and family,  Shroff explores the sacrifice, absurdity, and pain of being a woman of color pursuing a life in the arts.  The production has travelled and grown, first opening as one of the official selections of the Planet Connections Theatre Festivity where it ran to sold-out crowds and received rave reviews. Zenobia Shroff and Arpita Mukherjee were nominated for awards in Outstanding Solo Performance and Outstanding Direction. From there it transferred to an acclaimed Off-Broadway run at Castillo Theatre.
