Samantha Samant is a newcomer to professional and community theatre. In Encanta, Samantha plays Katrina's cousin Maria (whom Katrina hates). Here, she talks a little bit about her background, Maria, and Encanta. Share a little bit about your background in theatre. I am a pretty new actor. My acting education began with the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (AADA). However, before that, I had no previous training although I did do a few Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts productions as well as a high school production of A Chorus Line. |
What made you want to be part of Encanta?
I wanted to be a part of this production because I love new and experimental things. It gives a lot of room for playing with the characters' personalities. It's also crazy to think these are new characters no one has ever played before. So, its a very humbling and interesting experience
Could you share some insights about Maria or the play?
Well they're just people, so it's nothing too odd. They have lives. They eat, sleep, drink and do daily life activities. But its cool I guess.
I have one idea about my character Maria. She's smart and brave when she wants to be, but she doesn't like to show it. Because she may not want to stand out due to the fact that people who act or are different like Katrina get punished in a way. Being a person who wants to fit in, she doesn't want to show that side of herself.

Do you have anything to share about the cast?
I personally love this cast because there's no competition and such. They're all great people and sweet ones as well! I want to work with them again!
