Unable to stop her crying spells, Teddy Stern is sent by her doctor to an adult summer camp in the Catskills, Camp Karefree – “where friendships are formed to last a whole lifetime through.” She hopes to relax enough to clear her head for her upcoming wedding, but ends up becoming one of the most sought-after female prizes for the oversexed wait staff of eager college men – among them the aggressive, womanizing Pinky Harris and the charming law student Chick Miller, who eventually makes her realize she doesn't want to be married after all. Warm, exuberant, and a little hokey, “Wish You Were Here” is an appealing romantic comedy that harkens back to a more innocent time when young adults flocked to mountain retreats for a summer of fun, sun, friendship and love – a sort of wholesome “Dirty Dancing!” With a large cast of young performers and a charming, witty score featuring the wistful title song, “Wish You Were Here” is the perfect show for schools, stock companies or anyone nostalgic for the carefree summers of youth.
