In addition to his duties with Nevada Shakespeare Company, Cameron Crain teaches Theatre and Public Speaking at Sage Ridge School in Reno, northern Nevada's only independent, college preparatory school. A northwest native and graduate of Washington State University, Mr. Crain came to Nevada in 1995 and became Managing Artistic Director of Nevada Shakespeare Company (NSC) in 1998. Since then he has produced, directed and performed scores of productions from Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas. In 2001, he co-created NSC’s Shakespeare In School program, which has served over 120,000 Nevada students in every county of the Silver State. This summer he produced an educational adaptation of Midsummer Night’s Dream in conjunction with Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. As a director for NSC, he has staged Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet(ish) and The Tempest, as well as Amigas, by Emma Sepulveda and Marjorie Agosiin and A Single Woman, by Jeanmarie Simpson. During the 2004 Election, inspired by Jeannette Rankin (first woman elected to the United States Congress and subject of A Single Woman), Mr. Crain ran for Nevada State Senate and received over 13,000 votes in losing effort. He is also Executive Producer of the film A Single Woman, directed by Kamala Lopez of Heroica Films. The film is scheduled for release in 2008 and features the talents of Simpson, Judd Nelson, Peter Coyote, Patricia Artquette and is narrated by Martin Sheen. As an actor, Mr. Crain has played a variety of roles from Hamlet to Scrooge, as well as a Chautauqua performance of John Wilkes Booth with Nevada Humanities at Bartley Ranch Amphitheater; however, playing the part of Harold Hill from Meredith Willson’s The Music Man remains his favorite. Mr. Crain is a member of Actor’s Equity Association (AEA) and Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG), and he is the recipient of a Nevada Arts Council Fellowship and two Sierra Arts Foundation Fellowships.
