Samantha Shapiro has been a performer since her talents were discovered and developed in her middle school’s music department. She was also the only kid who enjoyed her turn reading in front of the class. It all really started when she saw her first Broadway musical and realized… this is her dream.
Raised on Long Island, Sam was lucky to have access to Broadway as a source of inspiration in life and craft. Not long thereafter, she happily performed in an Off-Broadway production of Thoroughly Modern Millie in New York City, at the age of seventeen.
Since high school, Sam chose to study History at SUNY Old Westbury. She has also become a self taught astrologer. With these grounding areas of study, Sam felt empowered to make her mark on the theater industry.
And so, Sam has made the decision to dedicate her life to the pursuit of a career in theater and music. She has enjoyed working on historical pieces such as Ragtime, which challenged her voice and stretched her heart—this is the core of the craft for Sam.
Similarly, she has enjoyed traveling the world and has benefited greatly from experiencing the art, history and culture each place had to offer.
She aspires to be a collaborative performer working on honorable and profound works of art.
