YMMV / Theater Camp

Go To

  • Jerkass Woobie:
    • Troy. He's undeniably an egocentric jackass with atrocious business sense that he gets from crytpo-bro style influencers; this stunning combo leads him to propose schemes that at best are misguided, and at worst are potentially hazardous to the campers health and safety. That being said, he was also thrust into this job at very short notice and the camp was loaded with massive issues long before he showed up. And Troy takes genuine steps towards working with staff and being involved in the theater side of the theater camp, only for the staff to immediately shut him and leave him to deal with the financial struggles all by himself. And lest we forget the reason he's even here to begin with; his own mother being in a coma, which might be permanent for all they know.
    • Amos Klobuchar. The many years he's spent working at camp have given him a swelled head and anything that goes against his personal artistic vision is met with passive aggressive hostility at best. This is especially highlighted in how he treats Darla, the camper cast for Old Joan; a poor teenager he constantly belittles and overtly criticizes simply because she wasn't his pick for the role. However, it's also clear just how much this camp means to Amos, and the ways it genuinely helped his life. And when Darla comes to him asking for help on character work for a different project, Amos stops what he was doing and proceeds to help her.
