Sam is a professional Stage Manager, originally from Western Massachusetts, who moved to the DMV for a Fellowship and immediately fell in love with the area and people. Ever since she was in elementary school, she was drawn to the theatre. Unfortunately, that involved many, many years of thinking that she wanted to act before she discovered her true passion: Stage Management. She has been using Stage Management to foster a safe and collaborative environment for all, all while having a good time (after all we do work on plays)!
