It's Summer 1982: Reagan’s in the White House, the Russians are building the bomb, and rustic Camp Tigglebitties is a hormonal hotbed where ubernerds Nolan and Dwight vow to lose their virginity to the gorgeous Lacey St. Claire...at the possible expense of their friendship. Serious questions are raised: Can Dwight enlist help from Obi-Wan? Who will win the Kotex 500? And what IS The Mook?Written by Troy Heard with lyrics by Heard and Chan, and music by Chan, “Summer Camp!" is a musical homage to the classic genre of the early 1980s cinema popularly known as the Teen Sex Comedy,” says Heard, who was selected Best Director of 2011 by NPR’s Desert Companion magazine. “I remember staying up late many Saturday nights to watch Porky’s, Meatballs and Revenge of the Nerds on HBO. And like any red-blooded, prepubescent male I always thought there was way too much story between the shower scenes. This is my chance to fix that...while amping the awesomeness by adding musical numbers in different 80s rock-and-roll styles.”"Summer Camp the Musical" premiered in Las Vegas Aug 10-26, 2012 at the Onyx Theatre. ​www.SummerCampMusical.com
