Samantha’s latest show, The Wild, Wild Women of Wakky NuNu! opens this Sunday, May 11th!

Following on the heels of January’s successful and critically lauded production of Bitch Macbeth, this new original production from Do What Now Media is a full length, multi-media comedy full of tikis, amazons, and madcap intensity.

Under the direction of writer-director (and co-star) Frank Cwiklik, Samantha will be playing Stevie Pulaski, a fiery photographer with a lot to prove and a chip on her shoulder. Beginning Sunday the 11th, the production will run Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights at the Red Room in NYC until June 3rd. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased here.

Samantha is currently in rehearsals for her next big project coming up in May, a comedic romp or silliness called The Wild, Wild Women of Wakky NuNu!

The next production from Do What Now Media, the minds behind the recent successful run of Bitch Macbeth, Wakky NuNu is the latest work by writer/director Frank Cwiklik.

Set in an insane but tropical landscape full of Amazons with issues, Samantha will be playing Stevie, a hardass photographer with a chip on her shoulder and a mean long range lens.

Wakky NuNu is scheduled to run from May 11th through June 3rd at The Red Room in Manhattan. Check back for more info!

What have people been saying about the show?

Time Out New York calls it “mindboggeling, multilayered, overwhelming… Cwiklik’s dialogue has it’s own peculiar poetry…”

“Ambitious, expansive, startlingly graphic, inspired…filled with crackling energy…”, Backstage.

“Uncompromisingly an original…a big, ambitious, visually and aurally stunning work of theatre…unlike anything I’ve experienced before…” NYTheatre.com

Samantha’s in a new show!

This upcoming January, Do What Now Media will present their 2008 production of their critically acclaimed Bitch Macbeth. Following two previous successful runs in 2000 and 2003, writer and director Frank Cwiklik is launching a new and revamped production in the new year.

Samantha will be portraying Femme Macbeth the cunning, brutal, and always ambitious lady-wife of Macbeth, in this epic tale of the collapse of an empire. Running weekends in January, the production will appear at Brooklyn’s Brick Theater, named Time Out New York’s “Essential Theater Space for 2007.”

From the Bitch Macbeth website, where additional information about the show, tickets, and publicity photos can be found:

In a dark and stony cathedral, a pair of dominas divine a prophecy in the whip-worn scars of a penitent slave’s back. Macbeth is chosen, a long, hard road, a climb. As he and his Femme rise, kill, slaughter, the House of Asbury, torn by addiction and destitution, unravels publicly, sending Prime, a sensitive young girl, into an abyss of sadosexual torment, and her brother, Small, to join his sadoslave and confidante in a burgeoning revolution that may bring about the total destruction of this alien civilization.

Tickets are $25, and directions to the space can be found at the website for the Brick Theater.

Previews January 4th and 5th at 8pm, January 6th at 7:30pm
Performances: January 10-27th. Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 7pm

One of her daily blog entries for gaming and entertainment newsite Next-Gen.biz was quoted by the BBC under the headline, From the Blogsphere. The article, which discussed the recent induction of the Atari 2600 into the national Toy Hall of Fame, originally ran last Friday, November 9th. It can still be read on next-gen.biz and, although the headlines featured on BBC Tech change daily, you can see a screen capture of her BBC debut after the jump.
