ABOUT THE SHOW
Sun. Surf. Suspense. Multiple personalities.
What could possibly go wrong?
Grab your surfboard and hold onto your wig!
PSYCHO BEACH PARTY is a wild ride of sun, sand, secrets, and seriously twisted fun!
It’s the early ’60s, and Florence “Chicklet” Forrest is desperate to become a proper Malibu surfer chick. There’s just one little problem: Chicklet may have a few… personalities. When a mysterious series of events sends the beach crowd into a frenzy, surfers, lifeguards, starlets, and assorted oddballs find themselves caught up in a hilarious, over-the-top mystery.
Part beach movie, part Hitchcock parody, and completely unhinged, PSYCHO BEACH PARTY gleefully skewers the teen-surf films and B-movie thrillers of the era. Expect outrageous characters, plenty of twists, big laughs, and enough camp to fill the entire beach.
NOTE: This play contains satirical themes and moments of strong language.
