Campbell O'Hare

"Campbell is easily the best actor in her peer group currently working in Philadelphia, something you already know if you saw An Octoroon or Mauritius, and she inhabits her brittle and broken character with breathtaking fearlessness."
-Cameron Kelsall, Phindie

These are my theatre homes, my tribes, my favorite places to be.

The Wilma Theater
LIVING ADVENTUROUS ART

READ UP

The Wilma HotHouse acting company welcomes projects whose daring aesthetics depart from the factory-setting naturalism of most regional American stages. It is an incubator for artistic investigation and enables its actors to dare and explore under the Wilma’s auspices. We develop new works, conduct readings, hold intensive workshops, and otherwise play and experiment with each other and our guest artists. We are about rigorous actor training and the depth that comes with being a family. I have been a proud member of the HotHouse for four years.

On the Rocks
BOLD QUEER SHITSHOWS

READ UP

On the Rocks takes a challenging look at millennial culture inside systems of homophobia and white supremacy through a lens of deconstructed horror, humor, and sex. It is our mission to build wild, exciting performances that feel like a party for our audiences, while still engaging with important topics and relevant social issues. BYOB, late-night, full of surprises. Erotic, horrifying, tequila-fueled theatre, baby. I am a founding member of the core acting squad and have been acting and designing with On the Rocks for four years.

Next season is going to be wild...

I'll be writing queer dystopian YA fiction, competing for a spot at Nationals with Liverpool Dance Works, eating leeches in East Germany, fencing in New York City, conjuring dead lovers with an Ouija board...
