COMMUNITY CONNECTION
After each workshop, we gather for Q&A and reflection. This is where participants, families, and creators come together to share stories, ask questions, and connect on a deeper level.
Because Sam’s Room isn’t just about performing. It’s about understanding.
When we’re all in the Room together, the magic happens. Don’t miss your chance to experience it.
