Concord – Friday April 24th at 7 pm and 10 pm, Saturday April 25th at 8 pm, and Sunday April 26th at 5 pm, the NHTI Stage Lynx Drama Club presents PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, an outrageous spoof of 1960's "beach party" movies crossed with a bit of Alfred Hitchcock-style psychological horror. The show will be staged in NHTI's Sweeney Auditorium. Admission is by donation (a $5 donation is suggested). Written by Charles Busch, this play with music tells the story of Chicklet, a perky fifteen-year-old with dreams of becoming a surfer. Unfortunately she has an annoying multiple-personality disorder that shocks the Malibu community, but "turns on" the sexy king of the surfers. Characters include Chicklet's nerdy, intellectual, best friend Berdine; a runaway movie star; two surfer boys with a secret; Chicklet's "Mommie Dearest" mom; a man-trapping high school vamp; and the psychology-student-turned-surfer, Star Cat, who ultimately cures the dream-tossed surfer girl of her mental demons. Hilarious lines, outrageous costumes and shocking (PG-13) surprises fill every scene in this crazy spoof. Grab your surfboard and get ready to laugh!
