Tony Award winner Ben Platt and Molly Gordon star in the original comedy THEATER CAMP 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 students, staging a masterpiece to keep their beloved summer camp afloat.

In addition to Platt, Gordon, Galvin, and Tatro, the film also stars “The Bear” actress Ayo Edebiri, Patti Harrison, and Amy Sedaris. Gordon, who is also set to appear in the new season of “The Bear,” is the co-director along with Nick Lieberman. Gordon, Platt, Galvin, and Lieberman are credited as co-writers of the script.

“Theater Camp” is out in theaters on July 14.
