In the 1890s, Vezirov participated in theatrical productions alongside other young educators in Shusha. He staged his own play, "Marrying Is Not a Sip of Water," in 1895. During this period, he also translated William Shakespeare's tragedy "Othello" into Azerbaijani and performed the title role in a stage adaptation in 1904.
