Rob Cameron* (M) is so excited to be working with DRC again, previously appearing as Will in
A Bright New Boise. Around town he has worked at Portland Stage, The Public Theatre, SPACE, Saco River Theatre, Good Theater and Fenix Theatre Co., which he founded in 2008. Rob is also a psychotherapist and co-founder of Partnership for Trauma Recovery. He is an avid surfer and meditator, a somewhat less avid jogger, a lover of Golden Retrievers and a booster for the great city of South Portland where he lives with his son, daughter and wife (and dogs) who are the center of his universe.
Phoebe Parker (W) is thrilled to be working with DRC for the first time. Phoebe made her debut in Portland performing in Nick Payne's
Constellations at Space Gallery in 2017. Earlier this year she appeared in
Life Sucks at Mad Horse Theater. A native Texan, Phoebe left her longtime home Los Angeles to attend the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies and now works locally as a photographer and filmmaker. When she's not working, acting or fumbling through some kind of new outdoor activity she loves cooking delicious vegetarian meals, talking to strangers, binging Scandi Noir shows, and spoiling her step-dog.
