In the age of social media, you pretty much have to avoid the internet altogether if you want to dodge any spoilers for a show or movie you’ve yet to watch. However, spoilers before the creation of #spoilers were more intentional; you had to flip through the ending of a book to see if your favorite character made it out alive or fast-forward a movie to see the final battle. Unfortunately for Ben Platt, he had no choice in finding out the ending of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince while filming Theater Camp. Directed by and co-starring Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman, Theater Camp follows “crypto bro†Troy (Jimmy Tatro) as he tries to save a theater camp from financial ruin. In the video above from the Vulture Spot at Sundance, Gordon, Lieberman, Platt, Tatro, Noah Galvin, Owen Thiele, and Patti Harrison discuss growing up as theater kids and enduring end-of-summer pranks like spoiling the most popular children’s book as it was coming out. Sign up for fun camp activities such as:
âž½ Becoming the uncle of the crew
âž½ Creating an original musical for the film
âž½ Spoiling Harry Potter in 2023
