[Fort Mill, SC April 30, 2024] Saturday, May 4, 2024, NarroWay guests have the opportunity to meet Samson, along with his donkey Pattycakes, following the 5pm performance of "SAMSON." NarroWay will host a meet and greet and live interview with actor Kelly Grenga and the sweet miniature donkey who accompanies him as "Samson's Donkey."

Grenga has played the character Samson since the show first opened in 2015. He is a black belt martial artist and trained actor combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors. He has studied under some of the top fight masters in theatre and film and serves as the stage combat instructor for NarroWay Productions. He is responsible for the choreography in the fighting scenes in "Samson" and trains the cast who perform in those scenes.

Grenga has spent much time studying the biblical account of Samson in order to more accurately portray his character. He admires the courage of this hero of the faith, a courage to stand against the face of evil. “Samson did what every person in this country should have been doing for a very long time now," says Grenga. "God requires our participation. It’s not an option. He requires it. So we better start participating, now.”

Kelly has been a member of the NarroWay cast since 2003. While that tenure is impressive, his donkey co-star, Pattycakes, outranks him in longevity by one year. This sweet miniature donkey came to NarroWay from a farm in Georgia in 2002. She is on stage for many shows, but in "SAMSON" she is featured as Samson's donkey. During the interview meet and greet, Pattycakes will be available for pets, hugs and nose rubs.

Join NarroWay for the 5pm May 4 performance of "SAMSON" to meet these two stars up close and personal following the show.
