COMEDY. Instead of going to a recreational summer camp, Stacey inadvertently ends up at a court-appointed wilderness camp for troubled teens. Stacey must survive for 30 days trapped in the deep woods with a hippie camp counselor, a kleptomaniac, a bully, a pyromaniac with an imaginary squirrel, a trivia geek, a girl addicted to Band-Aids, a Goth obsessed with serial killer movies, and a girl who is afraid of everything. To make matters worse, the camp leader goes missing, there’s no Internet or cell phone service, and they have to sleep in play tents! This wildly wacky play offers scene-stealers for everyone in the cast.
