Sam began writing comedy scripts during the lockdowns of 2020. Initially not intending to to perform them, but to engage actors, Sam undertook drama coaching and mentoring through 2021-2023 and staged his first production as writer/performer in 2023.
Sam's second theatre project, 'The Classroom of Tomorrow' opened at Club Voltaire in October 2025 as an off-fringe show.
Channelling teachers from his own past, Sam plays Mr. Kerr, a grade 6 teacher in 1967. Mr. Kerr tries to envision for his students how the world will be in sixty years - "say, 2025, to pick a number AT RANDOM". Mr Kerr has a poignant back story that is gradually revealed, and and a SHOCKING SECRET that we learn at the opening of Act 3. Sam performs three musical numbers in the show. Video of rehearsal HERE.
Sam's first theatre project, Socrates Smith's 'An Evening with Borges', opened at the Melbourne Fringe 2023.
In this absurd comedy, would-be literati Socrates Smith is convinced his life script is being written by surrealist writer J. L. Borges. Socrates hosts an event at which 'the greatest author never to win the Nobel Prize' is due to arrive. The only problem for Socrates is that Borges is dead . . . but will he turn up anyway?
The work features absurd wordplay, physical comedy and clever and hilarious props.
