5 Glenn Gains Confidence By Performing In Drag Theater Camp provides positive representation for many queer subcommunities including drag artists. Drag lets people perform gender in a caricatured way by dressing in bold costumes and makeup. This helps performers feel empowered, creative, and confident. In a pleasantly surprising move, Glenn performs in drag during Theater Camp's heartwarming ending. By dressing in drag, Glenn gains the confidence to act, sing, and dance on stage.
4 Rent Changes The Campers’ Lives In Theater Camp In a short but relevant moment, Theater Camp's camp counselors discuss that the campers' lives changed after the previous summer's production of Rent. The musical mentioned and the kids' gender expression is no coincidence. Rent is one of the most iconic modern queer musicals, depicting characters of various sexual and gender identities living in New York City.
Amos shows geekiness, passion for craft, humor, and creativity. He's loving but also critical towards the kids, a flaw that makes him three-dimensional. Throughout Theater Camp, Amos has character growth that makes him feel like a real-life person. Amos serves as a good example of a movie representing gay people well. He clearly recieved the same attention and care as other characters during the writing process.
