From the clinic to the stage: A Tripler physician performs in local theater
Tripler Army Medical Center —
When U.S. Army Capt. David Samsel, a physician, is not working at Warrior Ohana Medical Home in Kapolei, he can often be found acting on a local theater stage.
This year, he played Eddie McCune in the Diamond Head Theatre’s production of “The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940,” which ran Feb. 2-24. The play is a fast-paced and deliriously funny farce that takes place in an isolated mansion in the middle of a snowstorm. The characters are cut off from the outside world with only a deranged murderer, the Stage Door Slasher, for company.
