Theatre Camp debuts on Disney+
December 6, 2023
Searchlight Pictures’ heart-warming and hilarious ode to the stage, Theater Camp, has arrived on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland.
Tony Award winner Ben Platt (Dear Evan Hansen) and Molly Gordon (Booksmart, The Bear) star in the original comedy as Amos and Rebecca-Diane – lifelong best friends and drama instructors at a rundown camp in upstate New York. When clueless tech-bro Troy (Jimmy Tatro) arrives to run the property — into the ground — Amos, Rebecca-Diane and production manager Glenn (Noah Galvin) band together with the staff and young students, staging a masterpiece to keep their beloved summer camp afloat.
The movie is directed by Gordon & Nick Lieberman, and written by Noah Galvin, Gordon, Lieberman and Platt based on their short. The film also stars Galvin, Tatro, Patti Harrison, Nathan Lee Graham, Ayo Edebiri, Owen Thiele, with Caroline Aaron and Amy Sedaris.
Searchlight Pictures acquired Theater Camp following its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the US Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble. The film was also part of the SXSW Official Selection in the Narrative Feature section.
