POTSDAM — Cinema 10 begins its Fall 2023 season on Monday, Sept. 18, with a screening of Theater Camp, a 2023 US film directed by Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman.  

When the owner of an Adirondacks based theater camp falls into a coma, it’s up to her ill-equipped son to join forces with the quirky staff and students to keep it from falling to pieces.

Theater Camp has been praised for its authentic depiction of theater culture, and drawn comparisons to mockumentary-maestro Christopher Guest (A Mighty Wind).

“Earnest and ridiculous in equal measure, [the film] makes clear that places like AdirondACTS are microcosms of magical weirdness,” writes Shirley Li, The Atlantic.  

Theater Camp runs 94 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some strong language and suggestive/drug references.

• Sept. 25  20 Days in Mariupol  (2023, Ukraine, d. Mstyslav Chernov) 95 min NR
