Sam is a Tony Award-nominated director and choreographer based in Los Angeles. Previously at Pasadena Playhouse he co-directed, with Jenny Koons, the space-transforming dance party version of Head Over Heels which reopened the theater in 2021. His work on Broadway includes Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812, Macbeth with Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga, Amélie, Heisenberg, Significant Other, and Machinal. As a director his recent work includes a new, mega-queer, participatory production of The Wizard of Oz (ACT, San Francisco), the world premiere of Noah Diaz’ You Will Get Sick starring Linda Lavin, Untitled DanceShowPartyThing (Virgin Voyages, with Ani Taj), the world premiere of Larissa FastHorse’s What Would Crazy Horse Do (KC Rep), and Liz Swados’ Runaways (City Center Encores/Shakespeare in the Park). Other highlights of his work includes Kansas City Choir Boy with Courtney Love, A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Deutsche Oper Berlin), the original New York production of Anne Washburn’s Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play, and the upcoming musical film THE END, starring Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon.

Pasadena Playhouse’s Youth & Family Programming would not be possible without the generous support of The Fitzberg Foundation. This project is also funded in part by a grant from Pasadena Community Foundation.
