    Powerful and timely, While We Still Can channels the chaos of a storm into a gripping metaphor for division and resilience. Eickmeyer’s writing captures both the fear and fragile hope of a community on the brink.

    What a beautiful short play about risk, hope, community, and the best and worst of humanity. Centered around a small town, a storm, and those who did or didn't support a levee, CAM EICKMEYER has written a powerful piece about choices.

    This is an very, very well crafted play. Concise, with a central allegory that is blunt and effective, this centers around suffering and standing resolute in a storm. A play for these times as the storm clouds grow. The kind of response we need.
