Camp Kappawanna

Inspired by her Camp Lisa album, Lisa Loeb’s Camp Kappawanna is a sunny, funny new musical that captures the magic, mess, and growing pains of summer camp.

Shy, guitar-toting Jenny Jenkins is shipped off to scruffy Camp Kappawanna, where she’s stuck between a video game addict, a fashion-obsessed bunkmate, and a frazzled counselor who’s just barely holding it together. Across the lake looms the ultra-competitive Camp Bankston, ruled by perfection-obsessed director Chad Banks and his robotically flawless campers.

When a surprise Inter-Camp Olympics puts Kappawanna’s very future on the line, this ragtag crew has to discover whether heart, humor, and “average” kids can really stand a chance against polished perfection.

Packed with catchy, character-driven songs, Camp Kappawanna is a heartfelt celebration of friendship, self-acceptance, and finding your voice—literally and figuratively.

As Jenny learns to step out of the background and onto center stage, the campers discover that fun, kindness, and being authentically themselves matter far more than trophies, infinity pools, or perfect résumés. With big laughs, touching moments, and a finale that lets “average” shine, this musical is a feel-good love letter to anyone who’s ever felt invisible… and to the unforgettable summers that change who we are.

"Like its campers, it has abundant humour and heart." New York Times.

 "Camp Kappawanna has lovely songs, a wonderful sense of humour and a familiar message about being brave that's delivered in a fresh and engaging way." Mary Poppins Website.
