Among the low-hanging fruits of satire, sleepaway theater camps would dangle about as low as social-media influencers and Def Leppard cover bands. The spirit of “Best in Show” and “Waiting for Guffman” is often present, for better and worse, in Gordon and Lieberman’s film, which first debuted at Sundance earlier this year. Gordon and Lieberman co-wrote the script with Ben Platt and Noah Galvin, expanding their 2020 18-minute short.
Theater’s gift is that it welcomes all, one of the virtues being celebrated in the new film "Theater Camp," which might make Drama Club cool in the same way "Glee" reimagined and revitalized chorus/choir.
