"Theater Camp: A Hilarious Mockumentary Filled with Friendship and Laughter"

"Theater Camp" is a mockumentary film about a drama institute called AdirondACTS, where former youth performers turned camp counselors inflict their own trauma on the young campers. The film explores the struggles and dreams of the characters, with a mix of bitter humor and vaudeville sketches. The actors, including Ben Platt and Molly Gordon, bring their characters to life, but the film feels like it tries to cover too much and leaves some storylines underdeveloped. Overall, "Theater Camp" is a fizzy and entertaining comedy that captures the essence of the theater world.

"Theater Camp: From Improvisation to Sundance Success"

The creators of the movie comedy "Theater Camp" faced skepticism in Hollywood about making a successful comedy about theater. Molly Gordon, one of the co-writers, co-stars, and co-directors, explained that convincing people that kids could improvise was particularly challenging. The quartet of creators, who all met doing theater, made a proof-of-concept short in 2017 that eventually led to the feature. The movie had a tight "scriptment" outlining each scene, but improvisation was at the center of the idea. The film was shot at a defunct summer camp and features a cast including Amy Sedaris and Ayo Edibiri.
