Samantha Beck is one of the Clowns!
Hi Samantha! What is your role in The 39 Steps?
I am lucky enough to be one of 4 Clowns! The clowns play the entirety of the ensemble. Between the 4 of us, we play every supporting character. The Clowns are ridiculous, fluid, fun and quite an interesting challenge as an actor!
What is your background in theatre?
I have been in the Performing Arts since I was a young girl. My first role was Baby John in West Side Story and I have played many characters over my last 25 years in theatre, from Shakespeare to Sondheim! I have an extensive background in plays and musicals as well as a few production roles. The theatre is my greatest love.This is my 4th production with the Walterdale and I am absolutely delighted to be back!
What brought you out for The 39 Steps?
I love old British comedies! I often would watch them with my Grandfather growing up. The timing, the slapstick, the silliness – It is all great fun. Being in the cast of The 39 Steps is the perfect way to release all the creative energy that has been stored up over the last few years!
What are you enjoying the most about working on this show so far?
Our amazing CAST and CREW. We are so blessed to be working with an inspired Director and amazingly talented Cast and Crew.
Why do you think people should come see The 39 Steps at Walterdale?
This show is a MUST to experience. Step out of the heaviness of the world and into a world of laughter, mystery and romance!
