Bunked!: The Musical is a touching coming of age comedy about five summer camp counselors during that pivotal summer before the beginning of college. With easily relatable characters experiencing their first tastes of independence and a catchy pop score, Bunked! taps into the uncertainty of trying to find oneself while forging first adult relationship.

Exploring themes of first loves, growing up, and identity, the show asks the questions "Who am I?" "Where do I belong?" and "How do I make a name for myself?" with both humor and poignancy.
