What They're Saying: Brian Cern says "WOW! This is one of the most gruesome, most original, darkest comedies that I've read in a long time! It leads you down a simple and predictable road, then flips all expectations on their head. THEATRES: Quit being so squeamish, and produce this play!!"

Siblings try to sleep but the creaky house, or whoever is making the house creak, won't let them.
What They're Saying: Ryan Kaminski says "Wow! As a big horror fan I loved the premise, the characters, and the execution of this short horror radio drama. The concept is well executed, and just when I was on the edge of my seat waiting for more, I was greeted by a spooky surprise ending."

What They're Saying: Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos says "In just a few short pages, Eickmeyer skewers hypocrisy and serves it up on a collection plate. A cleverly titled, satisfying short with some sharp edges. Nicely done."

Three reporters desperate for an election day scoop, post up outside a voting location willing to do anything, yes, absolutely anything, to predict the outcome of the votes.
What They're Saying: Tom Moran says " A fast-paced, chaotic, very funny look at a modern election day. Does a great job of skewering pretty much everyone without avoiding some of the land mines of writing about politics."

Stay Calm and Panic
Two friends try to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic, but a pesky CDC Agent keeps getting in the way.
What They're Saying: Kally Anderson says "It so perfectly captures the whiplash, the misinformation, and the ridiculously impotent way we got by during quarantine. It builds so many delightful beats of both physical and verbal comedy, and it calls for a chaotic transformation of the stage. The audience was eating it up because it really just was the perfect lampoon of that time."

Neighbors facing an approaching catastrophe struggle with blame, fear, and the decision to stay or flee.
What They're Saying: Jonny Bolduc says " This is an very, very well crafted play. Concise, with a central allegory that is blunt and effective, this centers around suffering and standing resolute in a storm. A play for these times as the storm clouds grow. The kind of response we need."

Heaven or Hell
5 minute or less monologue: A dad escapes to the bathroom to hide from his son's question: Who goes to heaven or hell in Gaza right now?
What They're Saying: Paul Smith says "This extremely pertinent piece may refer to the conflict in Gaza in 2023, but it could refer to any conflict. Explaining the highly complex in simpler terms to a child is almost impossible - war is never straightforward, nor is apportioning blame. What Cam Eickmeyer does here is vocalise the difficulties involved in this stark, but utterly truthful monologue, which, in its simplicity, gives it great power and dynamism. Incredibly effective writing. "

In a distant future dystopia after the fall of civilization, a relic of holidays past forces a grandfather and grandson to confront the different ways they see the world.
What They're Saying: Jonny Bolduc says "Eickmeyer has such a sharp way of constructing dialogue: grounded, poetic without being too intellectual, and effecting. I want to see this produced. It honestly deserves it. Great work."

Besieged
A man battling Alzheimer's confronts the physical embodiment of his disease.
What They're Saying: Christopher Plumridge says "What a beautiful, moving short play this is, a tender dip into Alzheimers, perfectly written by Cam. Thankfully for Richard a kindly stranger protects him from his cliff, for now, and brings him back to safety. Wonderful."
