Lilly Camp

Lilly is a queer Brooklyn-based writer. A zillenial raised in the dying days of Hollywood, the child of a film industry father and a stand up comedian mother. If you’ve seen Karen’s Comedy Career Act II, you’ve seen a bit of Lilly’s work as a script doctor for hire (though in this case they are a script doctor for free). They are also an MFA-carrying educator and a reader for a few Institutions. They’re not sure why they even have this website anymore!

Legacy

Former members of a winning college rowing team reunite to celebrate their teammate’s success as the current coach. Under the expected drama– old crushes, former rivalries, and “who’s winning the reunion”– lie deeper wounds, and a collective traumatic experience from over a decade ago will resurface and demand they face it as adults.

Why taylor Swift is Gay

A playwright and self-proclaimed “Gaylor” takes us through a presentation on why they iare convinced that Taylor Swift is gay (and possibly already coming out). But what begins as an exploration of Taylor’s career, public life, and possible secrets is interrupted by interludes from the playwright’s own life, until they’re faced not with the truth about Taylor, but instead with the reality of why they so badly need her to be gay.

All Eight

It’s 2011 in Upstate New York, and nine freshmen women sit in a boat together every morning at 6am on their collegiate rowing team, competing with each other up for the fastest times, lowest body weights, and most influential seats, until race day when they are asked to put it all aside and row together as comrades in one boat. Crew would be chaotic enough on its own, but off the water, their coach shows up at their parties and drinks with them, makes lewd comments about their bodies, and is allegedly sleeping with one of them. So when one rower secretly rats him out for allegedly sleeping with a student and is seemingly rewarded with the best seat in the boat when he’s fired, her motives come into question– as does her position of privilege on the team. Over the course of their freshman year, All Eight examines how the world of collegiate sports drives these young women with varied power to fight to win– races, love, power– at the expense of even each other.

The Only One in the Room

Co-written with Francisco Mendoza

After thirty years at the helm of the Manhattan Playwrights Theatre, Katherine Lambert finds out the board is planning to push her out to make room for a “fresh perspective.” Desperate to retain her position, Katherine decides to steal a smaller theater’s bombastic play in a bid to try and gain new relevance, refusing to believe that the movement that once made her one of the only female artistic directors in the industry is the same that now clamors for her to step down.
