casinoslots A Close Friendship That Developed Into a ‘Soulful Connection’
Jacob Martin Hoff said, “It was love at first cackle,” when he met Samantha Wynn Greenstone in the lobby of the theater at the Welk, a resort in Escondidocasinoslots, Calif., on Nov. 30, 2015. The two, both actors, were attending a callback for “Fiddler on the Roof.”
“From the lobby I heard Samantha’s cackle at the end of the song and instantly thought whoever just made that sound is an immaculate human,” Mr. Hoff said. Ms. Greenstone had been auditioning for the role of the witch Fruma-Sarah.
He ran up to her and recalled saying, “If they don’t give you that part, they are crazy.”

Both were cast in the production, and they saw each other again on Jan. 8, 2016, at their first rehearsal. A week later, they hung out for the first time at Ms. Greenstone’s villa at the Welk, where out-of-town performers are housed. “We never stopped hanging out pretty much every single day after,” Mr. Hoff said.
The show closed on April 24, 2016, and the two spent as much time together as they could “in both Los Angeles and San Diego, depending on where the other one was working at the time,” Mr. Hoff said.
Eighteen months after they met, Ms. Greenstone was starting to struggle with the feelings she was having for Mr. Hoff despite the fact that he identified as gay.
