I'M SAM - A PITTSBURGH BASED ACTOR AND RECENT GRAD FROM POINT PARK UNIVERSITY’S B.F.A MUSICAL THEATRE PROGRAM. 

ORIGINALLY FROM THE PEACHY STATE OF ATLANTA, GA, I GREW UP SINGING IN SCHOOL CHOIRS AND PLAYING THE DRUMS. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL, I PERFORMED IN MY FIRST MUSICAL REVIEW, AND BY FRESHMAN YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL, I DID MY FIRST REAL SHOW, THE ADDAMS FAMILY. AFTER GRADUATING, I TOOK A GAP YEAR WHERE I WORKED AS A STAFF SINGER FOR 2 PROFESSIONAL CHOIRS, AND MUSICAL DIRECTED 3 SHOWS INCLUDING: HEATHERS, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, AND MARY POPPINS. 

MOST RECENTLY, I WAS SEEN AS MARK COHEN IN THE PITTSBURGH PLAYHOUSE’S PRODUCTION OF RENT. I WAS ALSO IN THE PITTSBURGH CLO’S SUMMER SEASON LAST YEAR AS ROLF GRUBER IN THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

DURING MY TIME IN PITTSBURGH, I'VE WORKED ON A MYRIAD OF SHOWS AND NEW WORKS INCLUDING CHIP TOLENTINO IN THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, PRINCE TOPHER IN RODGER AND HAMMERSTEIN’S CINDERELLA, CRUTCHIE IN NEWSIES, MR.MOSS AND JASPER U/S IN THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, AND PETER IN JOEY CONTRERAS’S WORKSHOP OF HIS NEW WORK: IN PIECES. I ALSO SPENT A SUMMER IN SANTA CLAUS, INDIANA, WORKING AS A PERFORMER AND COMPANY MANAGER FOR RWS AT HOLIDAY WORLD. 

WHEN NOT PERFORMING, YOU CAN TYPICALLY FIND ME SHOPPING FOR NEW SHORT SHORTS, STEAMING, OR SINGING ALONG TO ICONIC OBC CAST ALBUMS WITH ALL MY FRIENDS!
