Bell Bottoms, '60s Tunes and Laughs at Petaluma the Musical

In what is quickly becoming an annual tradition, Petaluma the Musical is back, with quirky characters, songs and silly stories that celebrate the 60’s music so many know and love.

Produced by Colette McMullen, the show takes audiences back to the summer of 1969 and tells the story of a group of politically active young people living during the "Age of Aquarius."

Johnny is a local peace activist rebelling against the Vietnam War, conservative parents and society.

He, along with friends, hears about Woodstock and decides to put on a similar festival in Petaluma, called "Chickenstock," (Get it?) Idealistic and filled with hope, the group trusts that the festival will help achieve peace throughout the world.

The musical kicks of Friday, May 3 and will run for two weekends at the Petaluma Woman’s Club, 518 B Street. Tickets are $15 in advance/$20 at the door (Advance purchase strongly suggested.)

Organizers are encouraging audiences to come dressed in their best ‘60s threads and sing along to the Doors, the Beatles, Jefferson Airplane, Pink Floyd and other classics, with a Petaluma twist, of course.

Light refreshments will be served.
