About — Samantha Roberts

Samantha Roberts is a professional director, composer and performer with a BFA from Temple University

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sammi and her family often traveled to New York City, where she began to develop her love for theatre. One of the first Broadway musicals Sammi saw was Jersey Boys. She loved it so much that she developed a relationship with some of the cast and crew and had the opportunity to go to a Broadway Cares event. Some of her other favorites include Sunday in the Park with George and Come From Away.

While born in Philadelphia, she spent a majority of her life growing up in Orlando, Florida, surrounded by all things Disney. Through her family’s love for Disney, she has traveled around the world experiencing wonderful cultures, histories and art forms, expanding her love for music and theatre.

When she moved to Florida, she began studying Tang Soo Do karate, which turned into a lifetime passion. Sammi has always been an incredibly passionate person, whether it be for music, theatre, karate, cheerleading, or TV! As an avid TV watcher, she is well versed in every genre, as long as it’s not too scary. As she got older, her passions grew and Sammi always felt she needed to challenge herself. When she was a sophomore in High School, Sammi decided to teach herself the Piano, Ukulele and Guitar all at once. She would sit in front of her grandparents’ piano for eight hours a day until she learned “Moon River” by Henci Mancini for her dad. This lead her to begin her songwriting journey.

Sammi also loves animals and has two dogs named Daisy and Franklin and two rabbits named Kimball and Belle. She is also a Certified Covid Compliance officer and has been honored to work with Broadway Covid Safety over the past months.
