Sam Carter

Sam Carter (She/Her/Hers) is barnacle-blowing thrilled to be back with the BBP community for her fourth production as Choreographer. You may have seen Sam tapping up a storm in rehearsals for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Wizard of Oz, and Beauty and the Beast- kind of like Squidward with his clarinet, but with way more rhythm. Sam is a Michigan-based Teaching Artist, Arts Manager, Choreographer, Director, and Actor (a regular Sandy Cheeks of the theatre world). She graduated from Eastern Michigan University with her MFA in Applied Drama and Theatre for the Young in 2024 after earning her BFA in Acting from Michigan State University in 2021 with minors in Dance, Musical Theatre, and Arts and Cultural Management (collecting credentials like Mr. Krabs collects shiny pennies). Her research dives deep into creating theatre for, with, and about individuals with disabilities. Most recently, Sam teamed up with her bestie Olivia Allen as co-writer/lyricist and director for Eastern Michigan University Theatre for the Young Tour’s Sensory Theatre production of June on The Moon. This new work is an immersive, multi-sensory theatre adventure designed for neurodivergent individuals and special education classrooms. So, hop in your boatmobile and head over to the Spongberg Theatre on December 5th at 7pm and December 6th at 10am. Don’t miss the ASL Shadow Signed Performance on Saturday, December 6th at 2pm. It’ll be more exciting than eating the first Krusty Krab pizza! Sam is excited to be Krabby Patties-deep in choreography for this nautical nonsense and couldn’t ask for a more absorbent, yellow, and porous adventure.
