MO SAMSON

Founder

Marie-Odile was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec. She discovered her love of singing and acting in college, where she had the opportunity to play Lefou in Beauty and the Beast and featured vocalist and ensemble in Hair. After majoring in History and Environmental Studies at McGill University and singing and acting for pleasure, she moved to Toronto in 2011 to pursue her performing arts career professionally.

Marie-Odile (or Mo, for short) chose to further her education by attending the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts (Class of Summer 2013). After graduation, she was selected as one of the representatives of her class for Theatre Ontario's Next Generation Showcase 2014. She then undertook the challenging role of the Witch in Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, as well as working on many of her own projects, one of which included directing a successful run of The Vagina Monologues.

Mo wrote the concept and script for Piaf: Songs of the Nightingale and is thrilled to have her vision come to life with such a talented cast. She continues to create her own works and is currently undertaking writing her first play.
