Camp Page #5

Synopsis: 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 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 playwrite 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.

Look at us.

Do we look like

any Jews you know?

You could be sephardic.

You could be sephardic.

Look at those curly things

on petie.

I don't think motel the tailor

used a lot of hair relaxer.

It's color-blind casting.

What do you want me to do?

Porgy and Bess?

Bring in 'da noise?

Why do we have to

play white characters

show after show,

summer after summer?

I don't have enough black kids

to do an all-black show.

I want my little brother

learning

he can be himself

and still get applause.

You know what I'm saying?

Now, what are you

gonna do about it?

Skateboarding?

For someone with

a name like Vladimir,

you sure are

a clichd American teenager.

If you don't like it,

stop watching.

I'm not.

I'm reading.

Sorry. I'm only human.

Call your parents, Romeo.

Get 'em up here.

I envy you.

You've probably known what you

wanted to do since you were born.

When I was eight years old,

I asked my father

to send me to acting class.

And you know what he said?

"There are five billion people

in this world.

"If only 1/10th of 1%

of them want to be actors,

"that's still

five million people.

"Do you really think you're

prettier than five million people?

You're not even the prettiest

one in your class."

I think you're very pretty.

God.

Why should that make me

want to cry?

I would've asked you

to your prom.

Mom.

Hi.

I'm sorry,

did I wake you up?

It's nice

to hear your voice, too.

I miss you too, mom.

Can you guys

come see my show?

Great.

New cast lists are up.

I got joanne in company.

You're in it, too.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

What is that?

Is that my underwear?

I was just

washing them out.

We need to talk.

I think we need a little

break from each other.

What?

It's something

I've been meaning

to bring up

for a while now.

This whole thing is beginning

to get a little weird.

I don't understand.

I've done everything

you've asked me to.

I know, and it's

been a great help,

but the time has come

for you to get

some sort of life.

I have a life.

Get another one.

I don't know why

you're saying this.

I can be better.

You're not hearing me.

I can be better.

You're not hearing me.

Test me.

I'll do anything you say.

You're my best friend!

Get away from me, you freak!

From now on,

let's just go about our business

and pretend like we never met.

Okay?

I'm going out.

Why don't you be gone

when I get back.

You ready

for our big opening night?

You're very intense

back there in the chorus.

Is everything okay?

I'm a little frustrated.

Frustration's

a useless emotion.

If you see something you want,

you just got to go for it.

Easy to say.

It's better to regret
