Tony-nominated actor
Todd Graff makes his directorial debut with the
musical comedy Camp, featuring an ensemble cast of newcomers. Guitarist
Vlad (
Daniel Letterle) attends Camp Ovation, the summer theater camp for budding actors, dancers, and musicians. Finding himself to be one of the only hetero boys around, he soon befriends nice girl
Ellen (
Joanna Chilcoat). Meanwhile, openly gay
Michael (
Robin de Jesus) develops a crush on him. This sparks dramatic confrontations among fellow campers
Jenna (
Tiffany Taylor),
Jill (
Alana Allen), and
Fritzi (
Anna Kendrick). The whole camp is run by
Bert Hanley (
Don Dixon), a washed-up Broadway songwriter who decides to enlist the help of his young campers to put together a new production. Features musical numbers by
Stephen Sondheim and
the Rolling Stones, as well as original tunes from composer
Michael Gore and lyricist
Lynn Ahrens.
Camp was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the
2003 Sundance Film Festival.
