Newnan Theatre Presenting Psycho Beach Party

The Newnan Community Theatre Company presents PSYCHO BEACH PARTY by Charles Busch, opening Thursday, July 8.

Can Florence "Chicklet" Forrest escape the clutches of her evil “Mommie Dearest,” win the respect of Malibu's reigning beach bum, overcome a pesky multiple-personality disorder, and learn to shoot the curl in time for the big luau? Or will Chicklet and her hormone-addled, pan-sexual surfer pals regain consciousness one morning on a desolate sand dune, naked and hairless from head to toe, the latest victims of the beach's unstoppable, serial-shaving dominatrix?

Welcome to Psycho Beach Party, a heavily spiked umbrella drink of a comedy from the warped mind of playwright Charles Busch.

This campy romp is directed by Newnan resident Jeff Allen with assistant director Nicole Walker. Performances begin Thursday, July 8 and run through July 18, with curtain times on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8pm, and Sundays at 2:30pm.

PLEASE NOTE: This show contains sexual themes and adult language and is not recommended for children under age 13.
