Set in 1962 Malibu Beach, the comedy's twisted genius comes from mixing movie genres: the surf film (“Gidget,” “Beach Party”) and multiple personality psychodramas (“The Three Faces of Eve,” “Sybil”), with just a dab of unhinged movie moms (“Carrie,” “Mommie Dearest”) thrown in for good measure.

Chicklet Forrest (Matthew Mickal), desperately wants to be "part of the crowd." She goes to the beach with friends, nerdy Berdine (Molly Ruben-Long) and sexy Marvel Anne (Kenneth Thompson), to learn to surf but all they have on their minds is boys. The boys on this beach include Provoloney (Bob Murrell), Yo-Yo (Jermain L. Keelen) and heart-throb Starcat (Chris Ramage) all led by surf guru - The Great Kanaka (Ethan Anderson).
Add to the crazy mix, Mrs. Forrest, the overbearing Mother (Amanda Zirkenbach), Hollywood movie starlet-in-hiding, Bettina Barnes (Tari Hohn), and the fact that our heroin, Chicklet suffers with split personalities, one of them a sexually voracious vixen who has nothing less than world domination on her mind and, even if you don't get all of the references in “Psycho Beach Party,” you'll likely be entertained by the show's gleefully cracked sensibility.
