Auburn Players Announces Cast of Psycho Beach Party

“Gidget”, Frankie & Annette beach party epics, and Hitchcock psychological suspense thrillers, are given a shotgun marriage in Charles Busch’s ”Psycho Beach Party.” Florence “Chicklet” Forrest (Kristin Bridges), a teenage tomboy in Malibu beach circa 1962, desperately wants to learn to surf and join a group of beach bums, led by a surfing guru The Great Kanaka (Marcus Brumberger). One thing getting in her way is her unfortunate tendency towards split personalities, and her most dangerous alter ego is a sexually voracious vixen named Ann Bowman, who has nothing less than world domination on her mind.

Kanaka’s beach bum surf gang includes university drop-out hunk Star Cat (Johnny Exner), Yo-Yo (Mark Sidor) a surfer with an obsession for food and dining, and a scrappy little surfer named Provoloney (Tristan Nolan). A spitting image of Joan Crawford, Chicklet’s domineering mother Mrs. Forrest (Jenn Derbyshire) tries to control her Jekyll-Hyde personality, while Chicklet’s hopelessly nerdy best friend Berdine (Tracey Bachta) tries to save her. A gorgeous high school vamp, Marvel Ann (Meghan Clary) keeps Chicklet on a “man-hunt”, and hiding out at the beach after running away from the set of her latest cheesy sexploitation film is B-movie actress Bettina Barnes (Anna Post). Rounding out this stereotypical cast is a sexy chick in a bikini, Dee Dee (Jacklyn Emmons) and handsome male surfer Nicky (Ted Brill).
