This Paragraph Is All About Me!

Sam Columbus (he/him) is a New York based composer, music director, and performer. During his time studying Musical Theater at Baldwin Wallace University, Sam started to realize that he was more interested in picking apart the accompaniment to the songs he was learning than he was in studying the vocal line, which has led to him focusing more intensely on music making than on acting.

In his time at Baldwin Wallace, Sam performed and music directed at theaters such as the Beck Center for the Arts, Playhouse Square, the Clinton Area Showboat Theatre, and the historic Timber Lake Playhouse. In 2019, Sam and his writing partner Charlie H. Ray opened their first show at the New York Musical Festival.

In addition to the above, Sam would love for you to know that his favorite musicians span from St. Vincent to Patsy Cline to Maurice Ravel; that he once moonlit as a competitive mogul skier; and that he is extremely fond of dogs.
