- "Cam directed, Mountain Language by Harold Pinter and after extensive research (he loves Pinter),good collaboration with student designers, and close work with the actors, he created a very successfuledgy production that was particularly effective in tone and style."

"Cam was recently awarded a Summer Research Fellowship and I was thrilled to hear about the fruitsof his labors following his summer’s focus on one of his favorite playwrights, Harold Pinter.Cam’s subsequent directing project, Mountain Language, was challenging, thoughtful, clear, and lovely."

Faculty Mentor - "During his workpreparing the role of the Nasty Interesting Man, Cam talked with me repeatedlyand provided extensive research for the cast about the role of the Lord of the Underworld;he took an extremely active role in shaping his character. He moved outside of his comfort zone physicallyand was a joy to direct because of his willingness to explore and expand his thoughts. He brings thishard work and enthusiasm to all projects in the theatre that he tackles."Brook Davis, Director"On the day of her wedding to Orpheus, A Nasty Interesting Man (Cam M. Roberts) lures herto his 'expensive, high-rise apartment' with the promise of a letter that her father has written to herfrom the underworld. Eurydice soon finds that the man is more nasty than interesting, and when sherefuses his advances, he pushes her down the stairs to her death."
- "Uncle John, played by Cam Roberts, was particularly memorable for me due to the convincingphysicality of Mr. Roberts. Again, a great difference in age between the actor and character,but I was immediately struck by his physical attributes and was convinced of his characterization, in part,because he was able to look the age of Uncle John."Shelly Elman, Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival"As for the Joad family and Preacher Casy, talent and hard work made their performances endearing.One found themselves completely enthralled with bighearted “Ma” (junior, Mackenzie Finnegan),tough but kind-hearted Tom Joad (junior, Jim French) and wise, old Casy (second year Divinity grad student,Guy Aiken); one sympathized with troubled Uncle John (junior, Cam Roberts) and poor Rose of Sharon(sophomore, Danielle Thorsen), who lost her much anticipated baby."
- "... there is some much needed comic relief provided by some well-written characters and somegreat performances. Sophomore Cam Roberts plays Norman, the aloof, introverted bookworm whois incredibly endearing and lovable yet frighteningly wrapped up in his own existential crisis.Roberts does an excellent job of mastering the complexities of Norman, and is able to go fromhaving the entire audience laughing in the opening scenes to commanding their attention in histhought-provoking anti-war activities. His deadpan way of speaking punctuates the quick, playful natureof the dialogue between Mike and Cootie."
- "The actors and dancers in Sonnets — Aejay Mitchell, Jenny Malarkey, Guy Aiken, Andy Belt, Christopher D’Auria,Mackenzie Finnegan, Dean D. Guerra, Victoria Hill, Paige Klesing, Louis Frazier, Andrew Newton,Anita Ostrovsky, Aleshia Price, Stephany Rayburn, Cam Roberts, Rebecca Speas, Morgan Stombras,Lizzy Thomas and Kathryn Tully — did a phenomenal job. One would expect nothing less froma Wake Forest Theatre production."
