Written by Charles Busch, Psycho Beach Party is an hilarious send up of Gidget, Frankie and Annette beach party movies, with a dash of Hitchcock psychological suspense thrillers.

Chicklet Forrest, a teenage tomboy, desperately wants to be part of the surf crowd on Malibu Beach in 1962. One thing getting in her way is her unfortunate tendency towards split personalities. Her most dangerous alter ego is a voracious vixen named Ann Bowman who has nothing less than world domination on her mind.

"Imagine Beach Blanket Bingo taking a very wrong turn," suggests director Sean Lough. "You get the sun and surf of a 1960s beach party movie and then, well…thing get weird. The waves are high, the hair is higher and the sanity is questionable. The only thing we're taking seriously is making sure the audience has a good time!"

The production will run October 9,10, 16,17, 18 with a mix of matinees and evening performances and does contain some adult language. Visit cdctheatre.org for more details and ticket options.

Psycho Beach Party is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com and made possible by funds from the Union County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, a partner of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
