** Hell, many of the kids' parents come across as this, or at least {{Jerkass}}es. Michael, and Ellen’s dads are both very cruel while their mothers would support them if not for implied fear of their husbands. Jenna’s mom is the only one who attempts to stand up for their child.

* AbusiveParents: Jenna's father comes very, ''very'' close. Her mother seems supportive but is overshadowed by a domineering husband.

Ellen (Joanna Chilcoat) has had trouble getting a date to the prom, even having had to go so far as asking her own brother. Michael (Robin [=DeJesus=]) was beaten horribly after attending his prom in drag. Neither expects that their time at Camp Ovation will result in what turns out to be one ''weird'' love triangle with NaiveNewcomer Vlad (Daniel Letterle). Meanwhile, nerdy girl Fritzi (Creator/AnnaKendrick) attempts to befriend camp diva Jill (Alana Allen), only to find herself toting Jill's luggage. Then there's poor Jenna (Tiffany Taylor), whose mouth has been wired shut by her parents in an effort to get her to lose weight.

* MoralDissonance: Deliberately invoked. Almost all of the plays that the camp puts on are absolutely not meant for children. Examples include Marsha Norman's ''Theatre/NightMother,'' Margaret Edison's ''Wit,'' George Furth and Stephen Sondheim's ''[[Theatre/CompanySondheim Company]]'', William Goldman and Stephen Sondheim's ''{{Theatre/Follies}}'', and, in a mid-credits scene, Edward Albee's ''Theatre/WhosAfraidOfVirginiaWoolf''.
** Even worse, a deleted scene shows a clip from Peter Shaffer's play ''{{Theatre/Equus}}''.

A 2003 teen musical comedy-drama film written and directed by Creator/ToddGraff, set at a summer performing-arts camp in upstate New York.
