After years of friends suggesting he perform, Maddox decided to give it a try at age 8. He immediately knew he wanted to play Ms. Trunchbull as his debut role after seeing Matilda the musical in New York. With no real experience in performing, he came out in a storm as Ms. Trunchbull and stole the show! This put him on the path to acting. A real-life ham, but also capable of delivering poignant performances, Maddox has discovered his love for acting, and the artistry of creating stories and bringing them to life. Maddox loves his two dogs, Zoee the Boxer and Einstein the knucklehead, enjoys playing and creating music on his keyboard and clarinet, playing video games, hanging out with his friends, and going to XMA to practice his martial arts and Tae Kwon Do.
Being a first-generation Asian American immigrant is hard. You know what’s harder? Being the daughter of one. Samantha Kang has never gotten along with her mother, Priscilla—and has never understood her bougie-nightmare, John Hughes high school expectations. After a huge fight between them, Sam is desperate to move forward—but instead, finds herself thrown back. Way back. To her shock, Sam finds herself back in high school . . . in the ’90s . . . with a 17-year-old Priscilla. Now this Gen Z girl must try to fit into an analog world. She’s got the fashion down, but everything else is baffling. What is “microfiche”? What’s with the casual racism and misogyny? And why does it feel like Priscilla is someone she could actually be . . . friends with? Sam's blast to the past has her finding the right romance in the wrong time while questioning everything she thought she knew about her mom . . . and herself. Will Sam figure out what she needs to do to fix things for her mom so that she can go back to a time she understands?
