About

Michael & Zak Zakar:
Twin brothers redefining what it means to be Middle Eastern men in entertainment, we are storytellers committed to truth, humor, and visibility. Our creative journey began with Pray the Gay Away, a groundbreaking book that gave us the courage to find our voice and speak it loud. Through writing across genres—from memoir to stage—we aim to break stereotypes and center queer Middle Eastern narratives with honesty and heart.

Up next: Bridgette’s Wedding, our bold and hilarious new play, coming to NYC in 2025.
