CAMP WANATACHI is a spirit-soaked, hormone-charged new musical comedy about two 13-year-old girls who fall in love at Christian summer camp.
(New York City, New York) Produced by the star of Disney - ABC's Legend of the Seeker, Bridget Regan, and Ian Pai, co-founder of The Blue Man Group and drummer of Fischerspooner, this genre-mashing new musical tackles faith and sexual identity with thick beats and weird humor. Written and composed by performance artist Natalie Weiss (of Unicornicopia), CAMP WANATACHI is an official selection of Playbill when it opens at the 2009 New York International Fringe Festival - FringeNYC.
Largely autobiographical, CAMP WANATACHI is the story of two young girls, a bulimic slut, Titi, (played by nightlife impresario Biet Simkin), and Jana: angsty, earnest and religious. Their relationship develops surrounded by an ensemble of eccentric characters, including a recently converted pot-head (played by Natalie Weiss), a hick swimming instructor (played by Calvin Kline taste maker Lauren Bahr), a homesick goth, a catty gymnast and a pair of queer hobo-punks who haunt the woods surrounding the camp.
With beats by glitch-hero Machinedrum, video effects by Chad von Nau (Animal Collective's My Girls video), and a lush live orchestra, CAMP WANATACHI features songs like the mind-blowing electro-spiritual "We All Need Jesus in Our Lives," and the mysterious, epic and exultant "Let's Ride Bareback." Visually hip and stylized, this nostalgic musical is super futuristic.
