How Theater Kids Improvised Their Way to a Sundance Success
, Noah Galvin and Nick Lieberman — faced a lot of skepticism along the way. Gordon, the co-writer, co-star and co-director of “Theater Camp,” detailed the movie’s backstory on the latest episode of “Stagecraft,”theater podcast, and she noted that one of the biggest hurdles was convincing Hollywood that a comedy about theater could be a success.
It didn’t help that a lot of the cast of “Theater Camp” is made up of kids, tweens and teens. “It was so hard to get people to understand that kids could improvise,” Gordon recalled. “But I actually think they’re much better than adults, because they’re so free and not in their heads and not jaded.” The quartet made a proof-of-concept short in 2017 that eventually led to the feature. Improvisation was always at the center of the idea. Gordon, who’s appeared in comedies including “Booksmart,” explained that the concept was inspired by something that often happens in movie comedies: “You always have ten minutes to make a scene your own — to do an improv version.
