VIA PRESS RELEASE | Immersive/ Interscope Records has releaseed a vinyl version of the soundtrack to Searchlight Pictures’ Theater Camp, the original comedy starring Noah Galvin (Booksmart), Molly Gordon (Shiva Baby, Booksmart), GRAMMY®, Tony Award and Emmy winner Ben Platt (Parade, Dear Evan Hansen, Pitch Perfect), Jimmy Tatro (American Vandal), Patti Harrison (Together Together), and Ayo Edebiri (The Bear).
Theater Camp is a touching and witty modern spin on the summer-camp chronicle with songs that highlight its cast’s immense vocal talents. The movie opened in theaters on July 14 with the biggest per screen average for the studio since Jojo Rabbit (2019) and is currently nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards. Available in opaque evergreen colored vinyl, the soundtrack for Theater Camp is now available at the Interscope Store.
With songs like the absurd but heartfelt anthem “Camp Isn’t Home,” the soundtrack to Theater Camp includes the complete versions of all the numbers featured in the camp’s climactic production of Joan Still. The music pays homage to great Broadway scores while also serving up memorable one-liners and showcasing the entire cast’s real vocal mettle.
Theater Camp’s songs were written by Platt, Galvin, Gordon, Lieberman, and Emmy nominee Mark Sonnenblick (Spirited, Lyle Lyle Crocodile), while Sonnenblick produced the album with GRAMMY®, Tony and Emmy winner Bill Sherman (Hamilton, Tick Tick Boom) and GRAMMY® nominee Will Van Dyke (Little Shop of Horrors).
Lieberman and Gordon directed the feature from PICTURESTART, Topic Studios, and Gloria Sanchez Productions. Written by Galvin, Gordon, Lieberman, and Platt, based on their short film, Theater Camp follows Amos and Rebecca-Diane—lifelong best friends and drama instructors at a rundown camp in upstate New York.
When clueless tech-bro Troy (Tatro) arrives to run the property (into the ground), Amos, Rebecca-Diane and production manager Glenn (Galvin) band together with the staff and students, staging a masterpiece to keep their beloved summer camp afloat. Producers are Erik Feig, p.g.a., Samie Kim Falvey, Julia Hammer, p.g.a., Ryan Heller, Maria Zuckerman, Jessica Elbaum, p.g.a., Will Ferrell, Galvin, Gordon, Lieberman, and Platt.
Theater Camp premiered at Sundance, where it won the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Ensemble, before its critically lauded wide release this summer. IndieWire said it’s “a crowdpleaser for the misfit in all of us.” The Los Angeles Times called it a “pitch-perfect mockumentary—you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be shocked and delighted” while also singling out “Camp Isn’t Home” as “one of the most memorable movie songs this year.” Theater Camp was also a 2023 SXSW Official Selection in the Narrative Feature section.
Led by Galvin, Gordin, Platt, and Tatro, the cast is rounded out by Nathan Lee Graham, Owen Thiele, Alan Kim, Alexander Bello, Bailee Bonick, Kyndra Sanchez, Donovan Colan, Vivienne Sachs, Quinn Titcomb, with Caroline Aaron and Amy Sedaris.
