By Ernest Kearney — Camp Ginger is an intelligent well constructed tale of a young, sensitive, socially maladroit lad who is sent off to a summer camp that caters to the special needs of the 2 percent minority of the human race who suffer from an excess of pheomelanin.
At the camp, among his fellow ginger ninjas, flame heads, carrot tops and Cheeto heads, the lad finds acceptance, grows in confidence, and finally experiences his sexual awakening while discovering his inner strength.
Though told with both sweetness and sincerity, the tale itself is one in which we are all very familiar, by now. However, while the tale may not be that exceptional, the teller most certainly is. Protean faced Steve Trzaska shows a flair for performing and a talent for characterization that is perfectly prodigious to behold, displaying a dexterity on stage comparable to that which the young Tiger Woods once demonstrated on the greens of the PGA tours.
Trzaska is also given the opportunity of showing his appreciable vocal range moving effortlessly from comic ditties to heartfelt ballads thanks to composer Noel Katz who provides superb well-crafted songs that Trzaska belts out…well superbly.
And that flute playing!
