Meet the 6 members of our 26/27 Writers’ Room. These LA-based playwrights will gather monthly to share their work and receive feedback from their peers in a forum facilitated by Geffen Playhouse Literary Manager & Dramaturg Olivia O’Connor. At the conclusion of the residency, each playwright will have the opportunity to further develop their completed draft in a culminating reading produced by the Geffen. Camilo Almonacid is a Colombian American playwright, screenwriter, filmmaker, and teaching artist based in Los Angeles. His plays include The Assignment, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2017 following a documentary-based development process with individuals impacted by gun violence, and Hotel Happy, an exploration of displacement and the complicated relationship between Colombia and the United States, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2024 and received a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Puppetry. His work has been supported by the NYSCA-A.R.T./New York Creative Opportunity Fund. Expanding his storytelling into film, Camilo wrote and directed the short film The Teaching Artist, winner of Creating Creators’ 2025 Create Challenge. As a bilingual writer, he has also collaborated with Netflix, Vice, Refinery29, and Remezcla, creating branded, promotional, and documentary-style work in English and Spanish. Born in Colombia and raised in the United States, Camilo’s work explores displacement, identity, chosen families, and the collision between humor and hardship. June Carryl grew up in Denver and studied Political Science and English Literature at Brown University. June’s plays include How to Play with Monsters (Rogue Machine’s 2026 Playwright’s Roundtable); The Wronged Party (Finalist, 2025 O’Neill National Playwrights Conference, 2022 IAMA Theatre’s The Rhimes Unsung Voices Playwrighting Commission); Blue (2023 Scotsman Fringe First Award, Edinburgh Festival Fringe); N*gga B*tch (developed at Nancy Manocherian’s the cell theatre and The Vagrancy); Colossus (2023 Ojai Playwrights Conference, semi-finalist 2021 O’Neill National Playwrights Conference); Florence & Normandie (Playwrights’ Arena and UCLA’s Diversifying the Classics, published in Golden Tong

"Jemima," a new music chamber opera with a libretto by @junecarryl Carryl, tells the story of Nancy Green, the first woman to take on the role of Aunt Jemima for the pancake company in the 1890s. The score imports racist music from the era into the 21st century and messes with it. What you're hearing is a 5/4 and minor version of "Dixie," leading into Nancy's first song. There's also a "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" in there so mangled you don't even know that's where it came from, and an old cakewalk. None of these are things I ever thought I'd be doing in my own work, but they are most decidedly appropriate for the telling of this story. It premiered as a film from @overtoneind Industries in May 2021, directed by O-Lan Jones, recorded at home during the pandemic — every part alone, to a click track, edited together by @fahad.siadat Siadat. @the_abdou_family Patterson Abdou and @scotttgraff Graff sing the two main characters, with @joannalynnjacobs Lynn-Jacobs, Ashley Faatoalia, and @tallandbassy Hayden as the trio chorus, and @brghtwrk Newmusic in the ensemble. While there is dark humor in this work, it is decidedly not a comedy. They tried to take her name from her. We wanted to give it back just a little. Full film and score, link in bio. #contemporaryclassical #newopera
