*Washingtonian, “Special kudos must go to Ebrahimzadeh for his tragic, funny, wonderfully realized Musa.”
*BroadwayWorld, “Played by Ebrahimzadeh… with With humor, dignity, and complexity, Musa is the heart of BENGAL TIGER… Ebrahimzadeh stands out in a uniformly strong acting ensemble. We really see much of the play through Musa’s eyes, and the actor handles the responsibility with truth and a depth of understanding that is riveting.”
*Maryland Theatre Guide “As Musa, Maboud Ebrahimzadeh gives a gut wrenching performance: you see what the war has done to his people.
*DC Metro Arts, “Ebrahimzadeh is superlative – his acting is all of a piece and his cries of anguish sear into one’s soul.”

*CityPaper, “Ebrahimzadeh brings Tom Waits’ vocal cadence to his role as an enterprising homeless man who wants to direct a big movie, and who briefly lures Garner away from her dowdy but loyal beau, Wilson…”
*DCTheatreScene, “It is the story of the boldness and self-confidence of Becker (Maboud Ebrahimzadeh), a man who lives in cardboard boxes and who is, ah, inattentive to matters of personal hygiene, who nonetheless pitches an idea for a guns-blazing conspiracy film, and who nods sympathetically when Susan (Julie Garner) complains about ‘dirt balls’….”
*Washington Post, “Goldman’s youthful cast adopts an agreeably gung-ho attitude — the right affect for this academic evening…”
*Maryland Theatre Guide, “As Becker, Maboud Ebrahimzadeh offers a memorable derelict/poet/visionary.”
SCORCHED at Forum Theatre

*Washington Post, “Ebrahimzadeh is icily indifferent as the creative sniper. It’s a solid company, reaching heights without ever pushing.”
*DCTheatreScene, “McWilliams, Strain, and Maboud Ebrahimzadeh (who plays, among others, a manic sharpshooter who takes gruesome photos of his victims) are excellent.”
*Silver Spring Patch, “Ebrahimzadeh as Nihad even manages to bring a few light, comical moments to what is otherwise very dark and gloomy, and manages to do it without making a parody of the subject matter…”
