Lampooning big dreams and high melodrama, this comedy about the kids and counsellors at a stagey summer camp is charming, and brilliantly brutal.

Mostly improvised, it’s an amusing celebration of community seen through a song and dance lens as the chaotic but devoted staff at a summer camp instruct their dedicated young charges, ignore their own failings, and make sure that several shows go on.

Achieves the rare trick of creating a fictional work-within-the-work that is supposed to be really good, and actually is.

Likely irritating from non theater people, but incredibly funny for those in the know. Characterizations are slight, but lots of silly laughs
