Screen Rant presents an exclusive clip of bonus features from the comedy film "Theater Camp," set at AdirondACTS, a theater camp in upstate New York. Aspiring young performers gather there in hopes of achieving greatness. When Joan (Amy Sedaris), the camp's founder, falls into a coma, her brother Troy (Ben Platt) steps in to take charge. Despite his lack of knowledge, he teams up with the quirky instructors to guide them and the students in putting on an exceptional performance, even if he's not fully aware of the situation.

"Theater Camp" is adapted from the 2020 short film of the same name, created by Noah Galvin, Molly Gordon, Nick Lieberman, and Ben Platt. The movie made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Starting September 14, "Theater Camp" will be available for digital download, and Screen Rant reveals a sneak peek at one of the home release's bonus features.

More About Theater Camp

Screen Rant's exclusive clip of Theater Camp features a discussion with the creators about the unique filming process employed in the movie. The creators reveal that the shooting style resembled that of a documentary, as the script, referred to as a "scriptment," allowed for more flexibility. This granted them the freedom to embrace improvisation to a desired extent. They further explain how they effectively balanced improvisation with meeting the objectives of each scene, whether it entailed fully written scenes or key points that needed to be accomplished, including humorous elements.

Theater Camp fully embraces the absurdity of its world, particularly through the portrayal of teachers who take their training extremely seriously. The presence of improvisation adds a fresh and organic feel to these moments as the actors experiment and try new things. A crucial factor in the success of this approach is the genuine chemistry between the lead actors, which brings the world to life in a manner that feels authentic and simultaneously satirizes the realm they themselves are familiar with.

Theater Camp, directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman, was written by Gordon, Lieberman, Noah Galvin, and Ben Platt. The film is an adaptation of a short film created by Platt. Starring Galvin, Gordon, Platt, Jimmy Tatro, Patti Harrison, Nathan Lee Graham, and Ayo Edebiri, Theater Camp is rated PG-13 and has a runtime of 93 minutes. You can find Theater Camp with all-new bonus features at digital retailers starting on September 14.
