As summer comes round again, kids are gathering from all over the US to attend AdirondACTS, a scrappy theatre camp in upstate New York that’s a haven for budding performers. After its indomitable founder Joan (Amy Sedaris) falls into a coma, her clueless “crypto-bro” son Troy (Jimmy Tatro) is tasked with keeping this thespy paradise running. With financial ruin looming, Troy must join forces with Amos (Tony award-winner Ben Platt), Rebecca-Diane (Molly Gordon), and their band of eccentric teachers before the curtain rises on opening night.
From first-time feature directorial duo Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman, Theater Camp celebrates the brilliant, if slightly unhinged educators who allow kids to be themselves and find their confidence. Nailing the specific details of camp life and its young, but already brutally ambitious occupants, and boasting a winning comedic ensemble cast, instantly quotable lines and zany, loveable characters, it’s a hilarious mockumentary that’s full of cult film potential.
