Last Day At Whoopee Kingdom

MTYP’s Summer Studio—MTYP – Mainstage

Were I tasked with finding a script for a group of teenagers learning to act, this would be a strong contender. It has a part for everyone, no matter how small. Through this there is an attempt at a plot involving skyrocketing tuition prices and the fragile job market, but the show rarely feels as though it’s building to anything. The performers, however, do a fine job with what they’re given, and despite occasionally struggling to be heard, there are real stand-outs here that bring the show mostly together. It’s just a shame their endless supply of high school theatre camp couldn’t save the writing.
