Samantha Landacre is excited to play the role of Timone in this production. She has had such a great time exploring a comedic role.
Samantha has been in theater since 2nd grade, but her most recent roles include Katherine in “Newsies Jr.” and Matilda in “Matilda Jr.”
She is also currently in the high school production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”
