Time flies. Two decades ago, IFC Films released ''Camp,'' Todd Graff's indie comedy based on his experiences at Stagedoor Manor.

The delightful cast included Anna Kendrick, Daniel Letterle, Sasha Allen and Robin De Jesus, and Graff even got Stephen Sondheim to do a cameo.

Highlight: A teenage Kendrick does ''The Ladies Who Lunch'' with such ferocity that when she belts ''Everybody rise!,'' her audience gets to its feet.

(Kendrick, Allen and De Jesus each did Broadway. According to the comments section on the trailer, Letterle left showbiz and became a fireman.)

In 2015, Graff promoted an Indiegogo campaign for a sequel. Playbill.com even reported that Graff said ''Camp 2: Freaks in Nature'' would include a sequence of ''Stepping to the Bad Side'' from ''Dreamgirls,'' with cameos by Patti LuPone and Donna Murphy. (Whatever happened to that?)

Really loved the insert of "I'm Still Here" during (a really amazing) Turkey Lurkey number.

Not to mention the original songs written for the movie. Definitely a "Camp"y movie!

With the kids on the bus singing “Losing My Mind”? With the jock innocently asking his friend, “Is that your dad?” pointing to a photo of Sondheim? With all the campers geeking out when the master himself arrives?

Oh, maybe I remember that flick a bit. ;)

yeah, I knew it was a special movie when they got on the bus and when the scene called for 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, they sang Losing My Mind.

I'll add the Turkey Lurkey Time scene too.

and the scene where one girl goes up to another and says "Are you new?"
No, I was here last year. Don't you remember me?

(Shakes her head no)

We were in 'Night, Mother together.

I always wondered how many audience members got the joke that Night Mother was a 2 person show

Fortunately, I saw it at Cinema Village...a tiny theater and there were only about 15 of us and that line got a real laugh.
