"Entitled"    |
Samantha is currently in rehearsals for On Brand Production's newest play, "Entitled", in which she plays the role of Audrey. The play is about the effects of bullying and how social media can cause people to stray away from who they truly are. (to learn more about this production, you can read the featured article on Broadway World's website)
"Entitled" is opening on Thursday August, 27th at 4pmET and 7:30pmET and will be performed on Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To reserve tickets, go to: onbrandproductions.org/august-series. Samantha really enjoyed working with the cast and crew! They were all so welcoming, kind, and professional. It was a great experience and she can't wait for people to see the play! |
Life in a Vial    |
Life in a Vial, a short film that Samantha wrote and directed, debuted in May of 2020. The short film stars fellow actors and Samantha's close friends, Leah Shifrel, Samantha Yestrebsky, and Miles Thompson.
Life in a Vial explores the very relevant issue of insulin affordability for type one diabetics in the United States. Throughout the film, the audience gets an intimate view of what life is like for main character, Abby (played by Leah Shifrel), as she struggles with how to afford her insulin. Samantha is very honored that her film has been selected for nine film festivals, including Lift-Off Global Network's First Time Filmmakers Fest 2020 (finalist) and the 2020 Colorado International Activism Film Festival (nominee). Life in a Vial is available to rent/buy on fentressfilms.com or Vimeo On Demand, and all the proceeds from the film will be donated to help advocate for affordable insulin!! |
