Prejudice & Pride

Producing Company

SamWrites

SamWrites exists to produce the original, written works of actor-playwright, Sam Wright and his collaborators. The production aesthetic of the company rests in the conviction that live theatre happens not on the stage but in the mind of the audience. All elements of a theatrical performance, including scenery, costumes, and the actors themselves, serve as prompts to be infused with imaginal reality by the viewers. Therefore, SamWrites strives for a functional minimalism that reinforces the invitation to fill in the gaps from one’s own imagination. This dovetails with the company’s mission to present exceptional and accessible theatre in diverse locations and markets.

SamWrites seeks to serve the forgotten, suppressed, or under-served voices of America’s past and present, always turning a critical eye toward how these voices inform or challenge American identity.

SamWrites also seeks to locate American identity within the framework of humanity as a whole, believing wholeheartedly that live theatre provides a vital discourse in human affairs akin to the function of a brain’s prefrontal cortex. It seeks to provide a space where humanity can visualize itself and its world, and make critical judgments and edits before moving toward a better future.
