WHAT: Psycho Beach Party
DESCRIPTION: Surf’s up and murder’s afoot, as Psycho Beach Party mashes up ’50s psychodramas and ’60s surfer flicks into a truly madcap comedy. Think Gidget meets Mommie Dearest, meets John Waters! It’s 1962 and teenage tomboy Chicklet Forrest desperately wants to be a part of the surfer crowd on Malibu Beach. One thing getting in her way, however, is her unfortunate tendency towards multiple personalities, including a dim checkout girl, an elderly radio talk show hostess, a male model named Steve, and the accounting firm of Edelman and Edelman. And her most dangerous alter ego — sexually voracious vixen Ann Bowman — has nothing less than world domination on her mind! Mischief, madness and the passionate pursuit of the perfect wave (and the perfect man) come crashing over the heads of the audience as beach blankets and Hitchcockian psychological suspense thrillers are tossed around in this rollicking, zany comedy.
