Meet Bruce Sampson
Sampson has a long-standing relationship with The Young Americans (YAs). He first joined as a performer at 15 and has since worked in various capacities, including guest director for YA International Music Outreach tours in several countries. This past summer, Bruce's diverse skills were instrumental in bringing The YA dinner theater show to life at The Highlands Resort in Harbor Springs, Michigan. Bruce has written, directed, and produced shows nationwide and in China, including for Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm.
The connection between Bruce Sampson and The YAs runs deep, extending beyond his professional contributions. All three of Sampson’s daughters have also been part of the YAs, creating a unique familial bond within the organization. We can’t wait to welcome him back this summer!
The Young Americans Dinner Theatre Experience
"I've gone to The Young Americans every year for the last 12 years, and this year was by far my favorite! They did a fantastic job capturing the sounds of the '60s, my granddaughters and I were dancing and singing along all night. This was well worth the price!! I'm glad I could share this experience with my granddaughters, and I can't wait to bring them back next year." - Rose M.
