Petaluma the Musical is a play about Petaluma’s history and features original music, songs, theatrics, as well as a little parody thrown in for good measure. The play, created by friends in twenty-four hours and produced by Colette McMullen, is centers around the fictional story of Ben and Sarah who meet on a riverboat coming to Petaluma, go their separate ways, and then eventually are reunited and start a family. Using songs and dance, it tells Petaluma’s story from the 1920s to the 1950s, celebrating the people, industry and landscape of the region that McMullen says she has fallen in love with. The production includes Kevin Loewen, a local musician, singer and songwriter who plays Ben, Karen Mathre, who plays Sarah and Rob and Mary Neidel, who are professional singers and actors living in Petaluma. Elaine Silver was the head writer of the play and Leslie Scatchard, the director.
