What I didn't like

Something about the ending felt slightly abrupt, though perhaps that was just me not wanting it to end?

My overall impression

Camp Ginger is a fun, engaging show. Steve Trzaska’s characters have their distinctive personalities and though they all seem different, they eventually (over the course of ‘summer camp’) gain an understanding of one another. Great character work! Steve’s original songs are engaging and support the story beautifully. My favorite was the father singing, because I liked the moment and the song itself, and because it was really special hearing Steve singing in the lower tone. It was almost a tease because it gave hints of how much more range he has in his voice beyond what is exhibited in the show. Overall, the ‘messages’ did not feel forced and the show is a delight!
