Sammi Cannold, 29, looks at Harold Prince’s “Evita” through a feminist lens at the Shakespeare Theatre.
in Cambridge, Mass. — circling back to the musical she directed as her undergraduate thesis at Stanford in 2015.
“I feel like my 10,000 hours started when I was a kid,” Cannold says. “I was very lucky because directing is usually something that people come to a lot later.”Cannold originally planned to study education, policy and international relations at Stanford but reconsidered after three weeks and ultimately majored in drama and history, followed by a master’s in arts in education from Harvard.
“My excitement about it came out of conversations around #MeToo,” Cannold says. “How do we evaluate the legacy of somebody who is often called a slut and a whore but whose journey started as a 15-year-old being taken advantage of by a 36-year-old? And how did that color the relationships or interactions that she had with men throughout the rest of her life?”“Hal Prince’s version [of ‘Evita’] is revelatory,” adds Shereen Pimentel, the actress starring as Evita.
