Theater Camp Needs Grandfathers

We have been letting the Hudson Valley know that there have been background acting opportunities for child actors and parents for the feature film Theater Camp, which has been filming in the Hudson Valley in towns and cities such as Newburgh, Warwick, and Goshen. Now, there is a special call seeking grandfathers. HBG Casting is looking to cast someone in the role of "Darla's Grandfather" for "June 28th." This is not just a background role this time, this is a featured role.

Theater Camp is based on a 2020 short film of the same name starring Ben Platt. The new musical comedy was written by Platt with Molly Gordon, Noah Galvin, and Nick Lieberman. Platt, Gordon, and Galvin are also set to star in the film, along with comedian and actress Amy Sedaris.
