Join artist and resident Sam Morrison in the Hawthorne Barn for a look into the process behind his hit one man show, Sugar Daddy. He will be joined in conversation by Broadway producer Ron Burrage.
Sam Morrison is an LA-based writer, actor, and comedian. Hailing from Florida, Sam found his home performing his unique brand of high-energy humor and storytelling at NYC’s premier comedy clubs. Since then he has emerged into the writing scene with a Broadway run on the horizon. In 2023 he made his television debut on Late Night With Seth Meyers and since has been named a Just For Laughs New Face, performed on Comedy Central Featuring and The Drew Barrymore Show, and appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Howard Stern, and Tamron Hall.
His first two solo shows were critically acclaimed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and his third show Sugar Daddy, extended Off-Broadway four times and was hailed as “The best new show in New York” by The Daily Beast. Presented by Billy Porter and Alan Cumming, Sugar Daddy is now in development for Broadway. He has performed in the New York Comedy Festival five times, being selected for Best of New Talent in 2019 and headlining in 2024. He has also performed in the Netflix is a Joke Festival, was a Finalist in the Stand Up NBC nationwide search, and a staff writer and voice over actor on S1 of Bravo's Blind Date hosted by Nikki Glaser. He is a 2025 Yes, And Laughter Lab Fellow, he hosts his own Youtube series where he takes comedians thrifting, and co-hosts the show ROOMIES with Dylan Adler in Los Angeles.
Ron Burrage is an award-winning creative director who has led design teams for Disney, Hershey, Procter & Gamble, and PepsiCo. His stage debut was in kindergarten, cast as the title role in Annie. His mom was thrilled. His dad, less so — he refused to come. (Therapy helped.)
Though not his day job, Ron has performed in regional theatres across the country. As an investor and producer, he’s supported productions including A Strange Loop (Broadway/UK), KPOP, Illinoise, Merrily We Roll Along, Burlesque (UK), SMASH, and Good Night, and Good Luck.
Ron is especially passionate about uplifting stories from underrepresented voices — and believes that creating space for bold, inclusive storytelling can go hand-in-hand with building commercially successful work. To him, theatre is one of the most powerful ways to say: you belong.
