Theater kids often get a bad reputation due to portrayals in movies and shows. However, Theater Camp offers a refreshing and accurate representation of theater kids.
The Big Picture Theater kids get a bad reputation, and it’s not hard to see why. You have movies like High School Musical, which portray theater-obsessed siblings Ryan and Sharpay as mostly self-absorbed, spotlight-stealing, overly dramatic weirdos, which is a very sharp contrast against the characters who simply fall into the theater world.
Troy is tasked with handling the financial troubles of the camp on top of trying to understand the campers. He has to team up with the instructors — drama teacher Amos, musician Rebecca-Diane, costume designer Gigi , choreographer Clive , and tech guy extraordinaire Glenn — to find a way to save the camp. However, the instructors have their personal drama unfolding, and the final curtain struggles to rise.
Theater is full of these things, and it’s something that many shows and movies about theater kids forget. Theater Camp exaggerates a lot of these things to poke fun of the people that take these things too seriously or get mad about overused audition tunes, but it’s meant to be funny to theater kids. It’s joking about the things itself more than the people who do it.
