Chicago-area choreographer Samantha Sieghart’s name has appeared in playbills all over the ‘burbs. You may have seen her dance moves in the regional premier of The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Natural Talent Productions in St. Charles. She created movement for the Chicago premier of Helvetica at Death & Pretzels in the city. She is also a veteran stage actor and singer. But Sam’s newest project is also her newest role: she is both choreographing and directing Mamma Mia! at Summer Place Theatre.
