About Me

My name is Sam Rahm, and I am a scenic designer. I graduated from Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania, in May 2026 with a BFA in Theatre Technology and Design, emphasizing Scenic Design. My goal is to build a career in the themed entertainment and amusement industry, where I can combine my passion for immersive environments with my background in scenic design. I have been fascinated by dark attractions for as long as I can remember and have been building my own props and decorations since childhood. This portfolio showcases a wide range of my work, including academic projects, personal creations, and professional experience.

Our Town

During my senior year at Penn State, I got the opportunity to design the show Our Town for Penn State Centre Stage.

Coraline Project

During an independent study at Penn State, I took on my first opportunity to design a walkthrough attraction rather than a traditional theatrical set.

Ghost Ship

During the Summer of 2023, 2025, and 2026, I worked as a Supervisor and Trainer at this haunted walk-through attraction at the award-winning Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, NJ.

Morey’s Piers

For the summer seasons of 2022-2026 I worked as an Attractions Supervisor for Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, NJ.

Hair Musical (Concept)

For the Advanced Scenic Design class, we designed a show from beginning to end. This involved presentations, white models, drafting packets, and a full color 1/4″ scale model.

Love’s Labour’s Lost

Spring of 2025, Penn State Centre Stage did the Musical production of Love’s Labour’s Lost. For this production I was the props supervisor. This page provides more details about the show.
