I’ll introduce Sam but first, relish in the opulence of his bio: “Sam Varteniuk was born in a log cabin he helped his father build. One day he will fertilize the earth with his dead body, and so fully participate in the circle of life, the greatest miracle of the mall.”
Sam is currently the Theatre Manager at the Registry Theatre in Kitchener, Waterloo ON. To the Edmonton crowd, Sam was the General Manager of The Metro Cinema Society and a co-founder of Mostly Water Theatre. You can find Sam on the twitter machine @samvarteniuk. Now, onto his words.
