"Stage director Cameron Watson has one of the best batting averages in town. Watson’s appointment as artistic director of Los Feliz’s Skylight Theatre Company starting Jan. 1 is good news for the city’s theater ecology."
"Watson, like Peter Brook before him, knows how to convert an empty space into a realm of magic and meaning. For Watson, the play’s the thing. But for the spark to happen, actors and audience members need a director as intuitively attuned to the uncertain human drama as Skylight Theatre Company’s new leader."

"HEISENBERG is a HIT!"
"LOVELY! SMART AND CHARMING! Beautifully acted by Juls Hoover and Paul Eiding and sensitively directed by Cameron Watson. One of the best shows I've seen this year. An early holiday present that can send you home smiling. Watson has a well-deserved reputation as being uncommonly skilled with getting amazing work from his actors, and he demonstrates that talent again here. His focus on the performances is so detailed that it seems to create an almost liminal space in which nothing matters except for the relationship between these two people, neither space nor time." Terry Morgan - Arts Beat LA
"ASTOUNDINGLY IMPACTFUL ACTING! Director Cameron Watson delivers a remarkably authentic and poignant tale. Soars on a level I never thought possible! An experience that does indeed hint at the cosmic. At the play's end, I had that rare experience of desiring to watch HEISENBERG again!" Tony Frankel - Stage and Cinema
"TOP 10! COMPLETELY ABSORBING! Gracefully compelling! Delicately rendered. Cleverly designed. Stellar performances. Both Hoover and Eiding, under the direction of Cameron Watson, fully inhabit their characters." G. Bruce Smith - Stage Raw
"ASTONISHINGLY HEARTFELT PERFORMANCES! Brilliantly told. Incredibly intricate and astute!" Shari Barrett - Broadway World

BEST OF 2023 - Los Angeles Times
"Amy Brenneman delivered one of the finest performances of the year, playing a Yale creative writing professor facing a terminal cancer diagnosis in this two-hander by Adam Rapp that spun a spiderweb around the creative act. Cameron Watson's suspenseful production, which also starred Anders Keith, left its audience transfixed." Charles McNulty Los Angeles Times

O'Brien's show is a heart-piercing, transformative wonder, meticulously put together and performed on an emotional edge that sneaks up on you and then leaves you floating out of the theatre high on the surprising possibilities of life."

"Thirty-two years later, the brittle cleverness of A WALK IN THE WOODS is undiminished - a stark reminder that a series of imaginative short scenes, with two fine actors, a knowledgeable director and minimal projections of trees transformed by the changing seasons can be all you need - and everything it takes - to deliver exciting theatre."
