Hello there! I’m Camden. You may call me Cam if you would like!
I am a queer, non-binary theatre maker based in Salt Lake City, Utah. I am the co-founder and co-artistic director of KID SISTER Theatre Collaborative, a non-profit organization, and a recent graduate from the University of Utah with my BFA in Theatre as part of the Actor Training Program. I will continue my studies in London, England starting in September as part of the MFA Advanced Theatre Practice course at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
My primary research concentration has been on directing and rehearsal room facilitation. Most recently, I produced and directed my undergraduate senior capstone project of King Lear, in collaboration with designer Angela Rauf, and directed Radiant Vermin by Philip Ridley at Salt Lake Acting Company in partnership with Flying Bobcat Theatrical Laboratory.
The rehearsal room is an ecosystem: an ecosystem that thrives by way of hospitality, community agreements, and shared values. As adrienne maree brown wrote, “every member of the community holds pieces of the solution, even if we are all engaged in different layers of the work.”

FAQs or …
Go-To Dinner?
I just LOVE to cook (especially for my partner and myself)…trying to be better at giving myself time to experiment in the kitchen. Most often, I find myself cooking with quirky kinds of pasta and canned beans—because, you know, college. Anchovies and tinned fish are a recent obsession. AND capers are a must.
Groovy Tunes (ATM)?
Grace Jones’s “This is Dub” or “Sat In Your Lap” by Kate Bush…I could go on. Let’s chat more about it.
Most Admired Maker?
My mom, Lindy.
Most-Cherished Film?
Singin’ In The Rain…It started it all for me.
