Sammy Rat Rios

Sammy Rat Rios (she/they) received their B.F.A. in Theatre Studies from Southern Methodist University and acts, writes, directs, and designs for theatre and film. Rios is an interdisciplinary performing and visual artist with a mission to redefine the theatrical experience through creative ways of storytelling. On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, you may have seen Rios trying to sell you cheese or guitars or a credit card on TV - whatever pays the bills, right? They are also a songwriter/producer for their 80s New Wave solo project 'Rat Rios' and compose original music for podcasts and film. When they aren't creating art, you will find them either outside in the PNW's lush landscape, or holed up in their tree house with their partner, animals, and plants, indulging in video games and vegan cuisine.
