  • Cam Eickmeyer: Research Subjects or That Creepy Guy Taping Me in My Sleep

    The play description captivated me and the play itself paid off and then some. The twist is fantastic and hilariously dark. This would be a great addition to any comedy play festival and has three excellent roles for actors to bring to life.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: 'E'Scape

    A biting satire on the super elite thumbing their noses at the lower classes as well as the game shows that profit off that spectacle. The word play and dialogue will have you laughing throughout. This play strikes a nerve in anyone who has ever pitched an idea to an incompetent manager. Well done

  • Cam Eickmeyer: MOSQUITO COMMISSION

    Charles Scott Jones does an excellent job of conveying the nervous energy of a parent considering introducing their child to their new romantic partner. The stakes are so much higher than a typical third date and to watch the weight of the moment stress the early romance between Colleen and Ludlow is a feast of imagery, excellent dialogue and storytelling.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Our Lewiston

    Devastating beauty. Poetic and powerful words. A city trying to process the grief and find a way to move forward. "Eighteen bricks demolished from my foundation" is an amazing image. This short play deserves to be read widely.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Intimate Matters

    Beyond awkward as well as delightful. The cis man asks and says all the wrong things and somehow manages to not chase away his date. The short play is littered with small moments that will generate big laughs.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: THE BRIDAL WAVE

    An insightful, creative short play that puts the audience in the anxious shoes of a young girl forced to decide between her future and an enlisted man's life. The stakes for this time period were sky high and this piece effectively draws out the emotions that must have bubbled over in countless chapels, courthouses and living rooms in the 1960s. Would be really cool to see performed.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: A Man Who Knows How to Hold a Baby

    This short play has so much packed in it will take multiple reads or viewings to understand it all. As a father it made my heart dread the thought of one day letting my child go out into the world. The way Corley walks Baxter through this anxiety to a relative peace is masterful.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: When in Rome

    I was chuckling from page 1 and never stopped. I'm such a nerd that "However, I think you should know there are rarely two equal sides, Isosceles" slayed me like a prisoner in the arena. This play is smartly crafted, hilarious and would be a blast for the actors to showcase.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Monsters on the Bus

    This vaulted to the top of my list of favorite plays. The authentic characters, dialogue and visuals are so well done my mind spent the entire time "watching" the play as I read. Like I wasn't even reading the words. Such a beautiful story happening to very likeable characters. Your audience will feel at home in that beater of a car.

  • Cam Eickmeyer: Selfish

    The topic is suicide, but the core of this monologue is life in a very honest way. "I am frozen in this infinite loop of anti-destruction" is how I know I feel on most days. It's also a fantastic line in a terrific piece. If only we didn't take up so much space, maybe we could enjoy the space we take up is the thought I settled on upon finishing. I certainly identify with Jaye and I think most readers and viewers would as well.
