I am Sam. Sam I am.
Samantha Squeri (she/her) is a Tony, Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle Award-nominated theatre producer, director, and
finance professional who is passionate about telling authentic
stories that change hearts and minds and is committed to
inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism in her theatre practice.
Sam seeks to produce shows with casts, crews, and creative/production teams that are at the bare minimum 50% composed of historically marginalized or under-represented identities (such as race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or preference, or ability).
Sam is dedicated to telling three-dimensional female stories on stage and always likes to apply the “Bechdel Test” to theatre.
The Bechdel Test is a measure of representation of women in fiction. To pass, a play must have
(1) at least two women in it, who (2) talk to each other about (3) something besides a man.
… it shouldn’t be that hard – but only a handful of shows on Broadway actually pass.
Why invest with Sam?
