Dear Evan Hansen stars (and fiancés) Ben Platt and Noah Galvin's film Theater Camp premiered at Sundance Film Festival last week, and the reviews are in!
The film, written by Platt, Galvin, Molly Gordon, and Nick Lieberman, is inspired by their 2020 short film of the same name. It follows the eccentric staff of a rundown theatre camp in upstate New York as they come together with a less-than-theatrically-inclined member of the camp family to keep the program going following the sudden absence of the beloved founder.
