With TV series like “Citadel,” “Hunters” and “Solos” under her belt, Tori Sampson is one of TV’s busiest young writers — and right now, that means sh…
The writer, who caught the attention of New York theatergoers with “If Pretty Hurts, Ugly Must Be a Muhfucka” back in 2019, has returned to Off Broadway with “This Land Was Made” at the Vineyard Theatre. She was in rehearsals ahead of the production’s June 4 opening when the WGA strike began, and on the new episode of “Stagecraft,” Variety’s theater podcast, she shared her point of view as one of the many, many writers who love the theater but who make a lot of their living in TV.
The play that was keeping her occupied, “This Land Was Made,” centers on the regulars at an Oakland bar in 1967, and imagines what happens when they meet Huey P. Newton, the real-life co-founder of the Black Panthers and a character in play. Although the show tackles serious issues , Sampson considers the play a comedy, and in general she strongly identifies as a writer of comedy.
On “Stagecraft,” Sampson discussed bringing humor to action-oriented TV series and to thrillers like “His & Hers,” the Netflix show she was working on just prior to the strike. She also outlined how she’s preparing to act as a showrunner herself one day while keeping one foot in the theater, and shared what she’s learned in TV that she aims to carry into her theater work as well.
