Theater Camp, 9pm, Film4

A man and a woman sitting at a desk in a theatre

A mockumentary that manages to avoid mocking most of its subjects, Molly Gordon and Nick Lieberman’s sweet film follows a season at a financially precarious but much-loved youth performing-arts summer school. With the director having had a stroke, her son, “business vlogger” Troy (Jimmy Tatro), takes charge, much to the bemusement of the kids and staff, including teachers and besties Rebecca-Diane (Gordon) and Amos (Ben Platt). A love letter to institutions such as this that provide havens for the unconforming and outcast, young and old. Simon Wardell
