Psycho Beach Party

Theatre Three
2800 Routh St, Ste 168 Dallas

Surf's up -- and murder's afoot -- as Psycho Beach Party hangs 10 in Dallas, starring legendary local illusionist Coy Covington at his Joan Crawford best. Playwright Charles Busch (Die, Mommie, Die!, The Tale of the Allergist's Wife) mashes up '50s psychodramas, '60s surfer films and '80s slasher horror flicks into a truly madcap comedy. Teenage tomboy Chicklet Forrest desperately wants to be a part of the cool-kid crowd on Malibu Beach. But the strange attacks plaguing her seaside town just might be the doing of one of her hidden personalities. Hilarity ensues as mischief, madness and the passionate pursuit of the perfect wave come crashing over the heads of the audience as beach blankets and Hitchcockian psychological suspense thrillers are tossed around at this rollicking romp at Theatre Three.
