Farah El-Ashram was born and raised in Lakewood, Ohio, and is a proud Palestinian Muslim woman.
She attended Cleveland State University, earning a Bachelor’s of Arts in political science and history, graduating magna cum laude, with Dean’s List honors for 6 semesters. Farah has been acting on stage and working backstage since she was 14 years old, and recently started acting in film.

Farah previously worked at a public library and in the education department at Playhouse Square. 10 years ago, she was actually a student in this program, which fostered her love of the classics. What a full-circle moment! It’s safe to say she loves what she does and is ecstatic to make an impact, especially on the little ones in her community. www.farahelashram.com
