About The Facilitator
Cami Stuckert has been a part of the Green Shirt community since 2022. During their time at Green Shirt, they’ve completed the Meisner Acting Program, written and directed for several 10-minute Play Festivals, directed an un-staged of Zonia Tsang’s Eye of the Beholder, and completed Green Shirt’s Teacher Training Program in 2025. They adore the emotional vulnerability of acting, and believe Green Shirt’s approach works extremely well in honing that skill.

Cami is a playwright published by Qu Literary Magazine, long-listed for LiveArts’ WATERWORKS Festival, and was in the top 30 dramatic submissions for Lambda Literary’s Writers Retreat for Emerging LGBTQ Voices. They have acted in plays and short films at iO Theater, The Cornservatory, DePaul, Columbia Chicago, and Loyola. They are bilingual in English and Spanish and work as a middle school ESL Teacher during the day. Cami loves to cook for their partner Kirsten, play with their cats Luna, Milo, and Cori, and chop collards for their bearded dragon Dorian.
