Samah (pronounced like "summer" with a Boston accent) is a Muslim Playwright and Screenwriter. Her work breaks the rules to illuminate and cherish the inner rebel inside us all.
Samah is a member of the 2024-2025 Geffen Writers’ Room; the Room will culminate with a reading of a new musical THE DEEP END. Her play MAYBE YOU COULD LOVE ME will have its World Premiere at Theater Mu in Minneapolis in September. MYCLM was selected for the Road Theater's 2025 Summer Playwrights Festival out of over 600 applicants; the staged reading premiered to a sold out house. The play is an Honorable Mention for The Leah and on the Black List x Georgia List.
Samah is a member of the 2025 Queerframes Lab, a creative incubator for emerging and early-career storytellers. Her original screenplay QURAN CAMP is on the Black List x GLAAD List and the Black List x Muslim List. It was also a 1497 Feature Lab Finalist and was on the MUBI/WScripted Second Annual Cannes Screenplay List.
Samah was the Writer’s Assistant on ABC/Hulu’s GOOD AMERICAN FAMILY starring Ellen Pompeo, Mark Duplass, and Imogen Faith Reid (showrunners Katie Robbins and Sarah Sutherland); the finale of GAF was the third most watched Hulu finale of all time. She was the Showrunner’s Assistant to Katie Robbins on A24/Apple TV+’s SUNNY starring Rashida Jones and Hidetoshi Nishijima, and she wrote all of the gross onscreen incel text in episode 103 (sorry, God).
Samah's short film, THERAPIST SPEED DATING, had a limited premiere on Amazon Prime Video. Her children's one acts, THE MYSTERIOUS MYSTERY OF THE LOST LETTERS and THE BETTER BANANA, co-authored by her identical twin, are available thorugh Brooklyn Publishers and have been performed at high schools all across the USA.
Samah graduated with an MFA in Writing for the Screen and Stage at Northwestern University. She earned a BA in English & Creative Writing and Media Studies from Emory University.
