This Tuesday, (June 24) The Laurie Beechman Theatre is pleased to continue TUESDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with a special screening of the independent feature CAMP (2003).
About CAMP: Misfits in their lives back home, a group of young people live it up at musical-theater camp. While the sports counselor is completely ignored, the kids' spend all of their time in rehearsal for a grueling schedule that involves a new show every two weeks. Several personal stories come to the fore. Is talented golden-boy Vlad honest in his feelings about Ellen? Can cross-dressing Michael have a relationship with his parents? Will one-hit-wonder musical playwright and now camp counselor Bert Hanley remain mired in drink and cynicism? Fireworks are in store when Fritzi, who slavishly serves glamour girl Jill, is finally told to get a life, and the parents of Jenna, whose jaw has been wired shut in a compromise to avoid being sent to "fat camp," learn a valuable lesson at the summer's big end-of-season benefit.
There is no cover charge for this event, and there is a 2 drink or $15 food/beverage minimum. A full dinner, appetizer and bar menu is available. The
Laurie Beechman Theatre is located within The West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42nd St., in the heart of the theatre district. Reservations, which are highly recommended, can be made by phoning 212.695.6909 or e-mailing beechmantheatre@aol.com.
Tuesday Night at the Movies continues with Dreamgirls (7/1), and Sweeney Todd (7/8).
