Camp AdironACTS is the emotional heartbeat of the counselors, staff, and campers that attend every summer. When their beloved founder, Joan, goes into a coma, Joan's "crypto bro" son Troy takes her place as interim director. Long term artistic staffers Glenn, Amos, and Rebecca-Diane set out to cast three separate productions. Meanwhile, Troy attempts to right the books and save the camp from bankruptcy before Camp AdironACTS is no more.

The first genuinely funny movie I've seen all year, Theater Camp is whip-smart and witty, with a touch of heart -- a joyful story of misfits who find home with one another. Almost a perfect match to School of Rock, Theater Camp offers a yuk a minute.
