Cal in Camo was co-produced with Rattlestick Playwrights Theater.
CAL IN CAMO probes the nature of family bonds and questions whether the wounds of our past irrevocably impact our capacity for connection. Heartbreaking and mysterious; Cal in Camo is laced with lacerating humor, and punctuated by moments of blinding revelation.
Press
“An earnest and tenderhearted play about the search for family…staged with scrupulous attention to detail by the director, Campbell-Holt and an expert design team… A mystical cocktail of a play…”
“Campbell-Holt’s company, Colt Coeur, is known for shows about the young…but [the] powerful Cal in Camo is ruthlessly grown-up. Fiercely written dialogues, each damaged person unlocks another [in] climactic, showcase scenes. ”
“In this production, with the care of Campbell-Holt and the commitment of the actors, it’s the power of feeling that leaves the strongest mark.”
“Cal in Camo is meant to be uneasy, and director Adrienne Campbell-Holt makes sure of it. The dialogue is fast and the narrative hard, begging to be heard. Living is in the asking and yet being vulnerable to the answers; that’s where the heart grows. For the actors it is evident that they know the material and they listen; even more important, they respond in kind. The camouflage is ripped aside and the human spirit is revealed, bruises and all. ”
“Directed with precision and style…”
