FARMINGTON — Sand! Surf! Shaving! Join Theatre UMF in their fall production of “Psycho Beach Party” by Charles Busch.

A satirical send-up of 1960s teensploitation beach films such as “Gidget” and “Muscle Beach Party,” this kooky, crazy, fun story follows Chicklet, as she struggles to come to grips with boys, growing up and being a woman in 1960s Malibu. Chicklet longs to fulfill her dream of learning to surf but trouble seems to follow. As the summer goes on, we learn that there is a secret haunting the fun loving beach community.

Psycho Beach Party was written by Charles Busch, an American actor and playwright, who has been seen is such things as “Addams Family Values” and the hit TV show “Oz.” Busch is also known for writing “Taboo” and “The Divine Sister.”
