Since childhood, it's been deemed just about impossible to keep Sam off of a stage. Growing up attending camps & intensives from Kansas City Young Audiences & the Theatre School at the Permian Playhouse, Sam is now a member of the Kaleidoscope Company ELITE troupe & has fully submerged himself in the art of theatre. Spending majority of his spare time at the Permian Playhouse & taking professionally led training whenever possible, he has honed in on his interest, knowledge, & experience in all aspects of theatrical arts, including dramatic styles, technical operation, improvisational techniques, visionary direction, showmanship, comedic formats, & musical integration. He has done acting & technical work on over thirty shows at only age seventeen, including Junie B. Jones, Annie, The Giver, The Lion King, Schoolhouse Rock Live!, Aladdin, & Elephant's Graveyard, for which the show won the Texas Nonprofit Theatres award for Outstanding Storytelling.He made his musical directorial debut managing the band of the Kaleidoscope Company’s A Tribute to Glee and has since assistant-directed on Shrek the Musical and Little Shop of Horrors. He is also a longtime competitor in Odyssey of the Mind and competed as a World Finalist in the 40th Annual World Finals Tournament.
