MEDUSA.
Parisa began writing her debut musical, Medusa, in March 2023 whilst on tour with Fisherman’s Friends.
By August 2023, she had a completed first draft and began creating a concept album for the piece with her UK collaborators.
In February 2024, Parisa received funding from Help Musicians UK with which she self produced an industry showcase of Medusa at London's, The Other Palace in April 2024 starring Parisa as Medusa.
Shortly after, Medusa was then selected as 1 of 8 musicals to be featured in NAMT's (National Allegiance of Musical Theatre) 36th Festival of New Musicals in NYC in October 2024.
