And to the former camp kids reading this: Yes, you did deserve a Tony for that ensemble part in the ensemble of Fame Jr. . Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Watch Theater Camp anyway. It is a masterclass in ensemble comedy (the "Camp Isn't Home" musical number is worth the rental price alone). But more than that, it is a story about found family.

Starring Ben Platt, Molly Gordon, and an ensemble of hilarious young talent, this film isn’t just a comedy about the fictional "AdirondACTS" camp. It is a raw, unflinching, and deeply affectionate documentary about all of us who peaked in the high school auditorium.

And yet, they keep doing it.

If you know that smell, you’re going to love the new mockumentary Theater Camp .

These kids come from broken homes, weird homes, or homes that just don't get them. For two weeks in a sweaty Upstate New York barn, they find their people. They find the ones who know that "Sondheim" is a verb. They find the ones who will hold your hair back after you eat too much sour candy before a vocal warm-up. Theater Camp is currently streaming on Hulu and available on demand. So, grab your jazz hands, cue up your favorite cast recording, and settle in.

There is a specific, sacred smell in the air during the first day of theater camp. It’s a potent mix of dusty stage curtains, E6000 glue, nervous sweat, and the faint hint of desperation that comes from trying to paint a 20-foot flat for Annie in under four hours.
