"As a musical theater person who always dreamed of going to theater camp as a kid, 'Theater Camp' was made for me. It was still even better than I expected. The movie is a mockumentary about a long-running, long-struggling theater camp that goes into turmoil when its leader Joan (Amy Sedaris) can't run it one summer. Her son Troy (Jimmy Tatro) takes over, but he has no idea what he's doing, earning the ire of all the teachers, especially Rebecca-Diane (Molly Gordon) and Amos (Ben Platt). As Troy comes up with hair-brained schemes to save the camp, they wrangle the kids to perform their musical tribute to Joan. The movie is deeply funny but also deeply moving (I did cry at the end), and while the adult cast — especially Noah Galvin as tech director Glenn — shine, the kids playing the campers really steal the show. Searchlight Pictures is giving this a theatrical release this summer, and I can't wait to see it again." — Victoria Edel, staff writer, TV and movies
