A native of NYC who has been living in San Francisco since 2001, her work has been produced by the Asian American Theater Company and Bindlestiff Studio, and has been presented at Berkeley Repertory Theatre through the San Francisco PlayGround series, the Magic Theatre, American Globe Theatre , among others. She received an individual artist commission from the San Francisco Arts Commission to develop her first full-length solo play, LYDIA'S FUNERAL VIDEO, which premiered in February 2008 at the Dark Room in San Francisco under the direction of Wilma Bonet, and was produced again in NYC in August 2008 as part of the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival. As a standup comic, Sam plays a range of rooms, from dimly lit bars and cafes to venues including Herbst Theater, The Laugh Factory (NY and LA), and Punchline Comedy Club. In addition to writing and performing, Sam is also a curator, editor, and all-purpose arts administrator who had the pleasure of working with our beloved Kearny Street Workshop, where she served as the artistic director and currently serves on the board of directors.
