  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: THE LINGERING SCENT OF ORANGES

    I love a play where a simple object can carry serious emotional weight, & all the more so when it physically changes its state of matter before our eyes. Melted candles, broken dishes, & changes of heart -- nothing's quite the same on the other side of these 10 minutes.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: Remember Me, Mr. Smith?

    This monologue will resonate with anybody who's seen a person in a position of power in their community get away with something for far too long. I would love to see a two-hander version of Gigi & Li sharing notes. As it is, this solo version hits hard & gives a lot for the right actor to sink her teeth into.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: Emergency Contact (10 Minute Play)

    Nothing is too easy in this play, yet in the space of 10 minutes, it earns a more optimistic ending than seems probable from page 1.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: The Chic Key

    Funny, sharp, & knows exactly where to aim its arrows.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: The Home On Happy Hill: A One-Act Play

    A good-natured, lighthearted pioneer pastiche piece.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: Three Blind Mice

    This play observes how people we may overlook early in life can turn out to be those who understand us most when we’ve all been through the wringer after a few decades. Not because they are perfect or brilliant, or even especially sensitive or insightful, but because our experience leads us to choose to show up for each other on repeat, flaws & all.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: Our Lady of Instagram Live

    If you’ve ever wondered what’s going on behind the scenes or under the surface in those tradwife videos the algorithm feeds you, this starts out there & goes to some deeper & weirder places along the way. Lets us laugh at the absurdity of the online capitalist christofascists we’ve all encountered while depicting them as nuanced humans capable of (& therefore responsible for) making choices.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: little moons

    An eclipse is really built like a theatrical event in itself, & this play does a really charming job of working with the drama & absurdity provided by the sky.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: Bathsheba's Psalms, Or A Woman of Unusual Beauty Taking A Bath

    The way this play ties ancient tales & formats (the Bible, classical theatre, children's games) to specific contemporary experiences of misogyny & violation does something really interesting to the audience. It's something beyond an updated retelling, making the mythical past & present reality simultaneous.

  • Emmet L.F. Cameron: Shooter!

    You really feel the layers of Leia's life, the different ways she has to show up in different rooms with different people, & how this sometimes shapes her choices & reactions in bewildering ways. The people around her are all clearly living their own layered lives that shape how they intersect with Leia's life. What they weave together on stage is compelling like a found piece of cloth with a bright pattern, frayed edges, sun-faded ripples, tack holes in the corners, & a cigarette burn in the middle. You may not know quite what happened, but it sticks with you.
