Detroit Mercy Theatre Company to present "The Grown Ups"

The play follows a group of camp counselors in the world of a remote sleepaway camp as they navigate the highs and lows of camp life. As they swap stories by the fire, form unlikely bonds, and challenge each other’s perspectives, an unsettling presence looms, forcing the counselors to examine their own values and the unpredictable forces beyond the campfire’s glow.
