End Credits #313 - September 20, 2023 (Theater Camp)

This week, End Credits is all about the craft. You can have the best script, the greatest cinematography, and state-of-the-art special effects, but it means nothing without the actors to bring it to life. That's what Theater Camp does, it celebrates the actors, and their eccentricities. And speaking of celebrating actors, we're also going to talk about one of Peter's favourites.

This Wednesday, September 13, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss:

Denzel's Hidden Gems. Now in theatres is Denzel Washington's new movie, The Equalizer 3. An improbable hit at the box office, it's a simple action movie about one man cleaning up an Italian town of mafia corruption. It's proof of Denzel's staying power and strength as a movie star that he can still make a splash without indie clout or big visual effects or even spandex and a cape. This week, we will pay tribute to Denzel by shining up some of his hidden gems.

REVIEW: Theater Camp (2023). Every kid loves camp, and if you're not especially into sports or boating or other feats of athleticism, you can always go to theatre camp. Well now there's a movie of the same name. Largely improvised and staged like a documentary, Theater Camp takes us to AdirondACTS summer camp where beloved founder Joan is in a coma due to the ill-advised use of a strobe light. With the camp under threat of foreclosure, the summer program perseveres with the only thing that matters: A love of the arts. But do we rise in applause?

End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
