"Today is international women's day and as the non woman part of Paraphrase I feel like this is a good day to write something about the two women that along with me make up our trio: Noha Mousbah and Tamara Annamaja Maasdam.
If you're following this page, chances are that you are already aware of their skills on stage. Their immense talent, professionalism, intelligence and charisma.
But since I get to meet them also when they are not in character, I get to see what they are like off stage. And those are things that I appreciate just as much or perhaps even more. That they are the kind of loyal friends that are there for you when you have to get to an emergency room in the middle of an improv festival. That they are the kind of hard-working colleagues who put in countless hours of work for all the things surrounding the ensemble and diligently find new ways to improve. That they are the kind of fun traveling companions who make touring so much more enjoyable with a mixture of goofiness and deep conversations.
I'm looking forward to many more shows, festivals, rehearsals, adventures, fikas, train rides, meetings, workshops and everything else with these two fantastic women!"
