Wet Hot American Summer

"Michael Showalter and David Wain of the sketch-comedy group The State wrote and directed this hilarious coming-of-age marathon set at Camp Firewood, Maine, in August 1981 — a time when pulled-up white socks could be worn safely. What's impressive here is the pace; by cramming an entire summer of pranks, hookups, defeats, and comebacks into a single day, Wain and Showalter keep the jokes zipping along. The characters ham it up for laughs with a raunchiness tempered by deadpan earnestness. Best are the throwaway moments, such as when a Kenyan runner appears out of nowhere and sprints past everyone in capture the flag" (Michael Agger, The New Yorker).

Come clad in your best '80s camp-wear. The raddest "do"s and gnarliest outfits will win prizes, fer sure. With Molly Trull and Anodyne, winner of Hickman High School Battle of the Bands, and a hilarious '80s costume contest, this is sure to be a sweet event.
