A “tale as old as time” is given fresh life when everybody’s favorite fairy tale is blended with a sci-fi classic. A strange creature - half-man, half-fish - has been spotted near the lagoon on the 13th hole of the Black Lake Golf Course in Nipomo. Trudy, an avid golfer, dismisses the stories as an urban legend. But everyone is surprised and horrified when the Creature takes a particular interest in Trudy. Mixing in song parodies and pop culture references, Trudy and the Beast is surefire crowd pleaser.

ABOUT THE MELODRAMA
MAKING MERRIMENT SINCE 1975
The Great American Melodrama is fun for all ages, producing top-notch musicals, comedies, and melodramas in a lively cabaret setting at prices affordable for the whole family. The Melodrama provides a unique live theatre experience in which costumed actors usher guests to their seats, take orders at the snack bar, and serve grub in addition to performing.
Some fans have called it a cross between a Saturday Night Live and Disneyland. And every show is followed by a vaudeville revue packed with song, dance, and comedy, so you get two shows for the price of one!
Between acts, the snack bar serves hot dogs, popcorn, desserts, beer, wine, and more. Be sure to leave a tip for the actors serving your fare―they’ll sing you a mini-rendition of a popular song in gratitude!
DINE WITH US
No visit to the Melodrama is complete without a trip—or two—to our snack bar! Stop by before the show and during intermissions to get a drink, snack, or full meal. We’re famous for our popcorn, baked potatoes, and the best jumbo hot dogs around! Plus, you might recognize the friendly faces serving the food and singing to you. Unlike any other theater around, our snack bar is staffed by our hard-working actors!

THINGS TO DO IN PISMO BEACH
Pismo Beach’s gorgeous setting means that there are all sorts of ways to connect to nature. Saddle up for horseback through the dunes just south of town and all the way to the surf on guided outings with Pacific Dunes Riding Ranch. Tours with Central Coast Kayaks take paddlers into dramatic sea caves tucked into the craggy coastline north of downtown. Or, rent a “dune buggy” or an ATV to ride the dunes at Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area.

Good to see the show opening. I had friends using their timeshare in Pismo and had tickets for the first Friday show when they were told it was cancelled for that Friday. They were sad and didn’t have time to schedule another date as they had to go home to Arizona the next week.
