Theater Camp is a new feature spilling over into summer after being released in January at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It is a collaborative effort between directors Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman with co-writers Ben Platt and Noah Galvin that was based on a 2020 short film. Maybe there were too many cooks in the kitchen with this endeavor as some wisecracks don't rise to the occasion and are half-baked.
It's not a total recipe for disaster though, there are several performers that are clearly a triple threat. Disaster does strike at AdirondACTS camp right from the jump as the founder Joan Rubinsky, played by Amy Sedaris, slips into a coma. Her son Troy takes over the responsibilities to run the facilities and programs with no knowledge or experience. Actor Jimmy Tatro plays Troy and brings real-life experience to the table from another mockumentary in the past called American Vandal.
