Sam Cameron

Sam is currently completing Year 12 at Kormilda College so his activities with the company are restricted this year. Claims he's primarily a musician, but Sam's performance as the Beast in last year's Kormilda production of Disney's Beauty and the Beast was widely acclaimed. Also claims to be Phil Denson's apprentice, which may be a cause for serious concern.
