Mockumentary Theatre Camp lands in the UK in August following its success at the Sundance Film Festival, and here’s the trailer.
While Christopher Guest may still be the name most readily associated with the mockumentary subgenre, with films like Best In Show and Waiting For Guffman. new indie comedy Theater Camp aims to cover similar ground.
The official synopsis reads as follows:
As summer rolls around again, kids are gathering from all over to attend AdirondACTS, a scrappy theater camp in upstate New York that’s a haven for budding performers. After its indomitable founder Joan (Amy Sedaris) falls into a coma, her clueless “crypto-bro” son Troy (Jimmy Tatro) is tasked with keeping the thespian paradise running. With financial ruin looming, Troy must join forces with Amos (Ben Platt), Rebecca-Diane (Molly Gordon), and their band of eccentric instructors to come up with a solution before the curtain rises on opening night.
Noah Galvin, Patti Harrison, Nathan Lee Graham, Ayo Edebiri, Owen Thiele, and Alan Kim are also part of the ensemble.
Actors turned directors Molly Gordon & Nick Lieberman make their directorial debut from a screenplay by Gordon co-wrote with co-star Galvin.
Theater Camp is due to be released in the UK on the 25th August, watch the trailer below…
