About the Artist

The Outstanding! trio consists of three recent graduates of UVic’s Phoenix Theatre- Chiara Power, Samantha Frew, and Jack Storwick. They are honoured to be living, learning, listening, and gathering inspiration on unceded Lək̓ ʷəŋən territory. This show was developed in Victoria, BC, with the help of a shared Google document, caffeine, and a dream. As such, the trio also gives thanks to their producer, Ballenworks- a local theatre company based on Lək̓ ʷəŋən territory. Its mission is to focus on the creation of new works, with an emphasis on highlighting and presenting emerging voices in our community.

While acting is her first love, Samantha has worn- and continues to wear- many wonderful hats, including director/assistant director, writer, teacher, choreographer, designer, and visual artist.
