On Oct 15, Singapore-based opera company Checkpoint Theatre paid gift to , Shahid, calling him” the best partner in the practice room”. Shahid and Checkpoint Theatre had collaborated on several productions including 2023’s Brown Boys Do n’t Tell Jokes and 2024’s Secondary: The Musical.
” His departure has caused us all at Checkpoint Theatre to be deeply sorrowful. We had the highest regard for his craft, and we treasured his compassion immensely”, wrote the business.
” Like all great actors, Shahid knew how to get both darkness and light. He was able to seamlessly switch between the absurd and the hyper-realistic. His existence enhanced our lives and our job. In only 24 months of intensive partnership, we came to love him greatly. We will do everything in our power to continue and create the theater Shahid may include desired to see and participate in.
At the time of his suicide, Shahid was reportedly writing a one-man present for them.
” His written sites were typed up in a Google Doc, but it cannot now be completed”.
