A graduate from the Charles Sturt University BA Acting (Stage & Screen) course, Adam moved to Sydney, where he performed in theatre and film for three years. During this time, he performed in many brand new musicals in multiple venues.
After leaving the Sydney acting scene for a more peaceful lifestyle, Adam has been an active part of the Canberra theatre scene since 2009. He has acted, directed and judged for Short+Sweet, as well as being Festival Director in 2010.
He has also performed with Freshly Ground Theatre, Women's Forum Theatre, Phoenix Players, Lexx Productions, Canberra Rep, Dramatic Productions and Ickle Pickle, playing a variety of roles, as well as singing and dancing.
Adam is also an accent and voice coach, with radio and voice over experience. He teaches Drama and Live Production & Services in ACT public schools, directing students in many major shows and festivals each year.
Sam has most recently appeared in Rep’s productions of Calendar Girls directed by Catherine Hill, Speaking in Tongues directed by Ross McGregor, Pride and Prejudice directed by Duncan Ley and Pig Iron People directed by Aarne Neeme.
Sam’s involvement with Rep goes back many years, starting with The Madness of George III and Communicating Doors. In between he has appeared in numerous Rep productions including Arcadia, Life x3 and Moon Over Buffalo.
He has also appeared in various ANU, Free-Rain and Looking Glass productions, as well as last year’s Short and Sweet in The Bret I Haven’t Met by Rep’s own Simon Tolhurst.
Sam has, as always, found it a pleasure to work with the talented people of the Canberra Repertory Society, and a particular pleasure to be working with Aarne again.
For anyone who counts these things this is now Sam’s ninth play since quitting theatre.
