"Nona Watson... Delivers bravura work as Chicklet's dangerously psychotic mother while tapping directly into the script's campier aspects."
"Director Nicole Dominguez and her cast get the jokes, making sure we do too..."
"This oh-so-campy send-up gets its cue from two distinctive genres: frivolous 1960s beach movies and intense psychological suspense thrillers a la Hitchcock, parodying both styles while also paying them homage."
-Eric Marchese, OC Register
"Stages production of Psycho Beach Party receives a much needed injection of heart in the campy world of Charles Busch's play."
"The show is worth a trip to Fullerton!"
-Lauren Stone, LA Small Theater Review.
"Jon Gaw’s set is a simple but colorful, ingeniously designed wall of surfboard cutouts, some of which open to reveal Kanaka’s shack or Mrs. Forrest’s kitchen. Carly McNamee lights the stage with California sunshine and signals Chicket’s personality changes with Hitchcockian flashes of red. Costume/make-up designer Elise Ybarra’s outfits have just the right colorful ‘60s beach party look."
