    About Me

    Hi! I’m Sam Belding (she/they), a non-binary actor and musical theatre performer based in New York City, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area.

    Most recently, I had the incredible opportunity to tour nationally with Little Women, serving as a swing and covering all eight female tracks. One of the highlights of the tour was stepping into the role of Jo March for my principal debut—an experience I’ll never forget.

    I trained for three years at the University of the Arts before earning my BFA in Musical Theatre from Temple University. I’m deeply passionate about storytelling and always drawn to roles that challenge me to dig deeper.

    As a lifelong fan of theatre, I’m committed to building a career that’s not just creatively fulfilling, but also grounded in truth, trust, and a genuine love for the work.

    Theatre is more than a career for me—it’s where I feel most alive. I’m here to tell stories that matter, grow with every role, and build a life in this art form rooted in honesty and passion.
