In a coup for MAD Theatre of Tampa, their company is the first community theatre in Florida to present this incredibly moving and heartfelt musical.

We know how it ends. Two men meet in a tunnel, one introduces himself as Gavrilo, and the stage is set for the prelude to one of the most significant episodes of 20th century history. But Rajiv Joseph's Archduke has little interest in historical reenactment.

Minutes later, the Salpointe Catholic High School graduate would hear her own name announced as the winner of the 2026 Jimmy Award for Best Performance by an Actress, one of the nation's highest honors for high school musical theatre performers. After spending nearly an hour talking with Samia, however, I realized the image that stayed with me wasn't the trophy or the oversized $25,000 check.
