"An Interpreter's Life.... and a CODA's Life..."

Sam is a one-man show with a cast of thousands!  Travel through his life, his heart, and his head as a CODA, interpreter, and...well just Sam!  Drawing on stories from his life, family, and work, Sam will make you laugh, cry, and guffaw!  His one-man show takes you through a journey of excitement, stress, and touching moments every interpreter encounters and every CODA experiences.  Sam's combination of American Sign Language and "DEAF" voice is completely accessible to all audiences (no interpretation necessary). "An Interpreter's Life is…" does not mock, but lovingly reflects the Deaf voices that Sam cherishes.
