During the 2024 SC New Play Festival, Greenville actress Eliza Pagelle played the role of Sam during the reading of “All the World’s a Stage.” Now, she’s making her Off-Broadway acting debut, originating the role in New York City.

The musical is about a small-town math teacher coaching a “misfit” student for the 1996 State Thespian Convention (yes, those do exist) whose life starts to go awry thanks to a devout school secretary.

Pagelle refined her talent at the Fine Arts Center + the SC Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, and starred locally in Warehouse Theatre productions + nationally at the Texas Shakespeare Festival and Tennessee Shakespeare Company.
