Sneak Peek
Now Playing at Gaslight Melodrama
Wasco at the turn of the century wasn't any more than a post office and a few hundred tumble weeds. And it was protected by one of the most humble and nicest men ever to be deputized by the U.S. Marshall, Johnny Wasco. But, when a freak tornado wisks Johnny away to the Wasco of 2025, he must muster the courage to convince the town that he's not only a stranger, but a "Legend". Making matters worse is evil tycoon, Sherman Shafter, who has come to town to rid it of the annual "Festival Of Roses". It's up to Johnny to not only save the town and the festival, but to also prove to everyone that he IS "The Wasco Kid". With a colorful cast of characters including the sweet, Debbie Do-Rightly; the sour, Mable Mylanta and the sinister Liza Low-N-Dirty, plus a rip-roaring soundtrack of melodrama favorites, this is one show you won't want to miss.

"Excellent theater show where you laugh until your cheeks hurt. Talented actors who really bring the show alive making you feel as though you are part of it with the booing of villains and cheering of heroes."
- Koki & Kane S., Lake Stevens, WA
"Always charming and fun. They get the entire audience involved. This is sufficiently delightful that we plan a weekend around it, renting a room for the night and exploring Bakersfield the next day."
Eva R., Northridge, CA
"Every time I go to the Gaslight Melodrama, it's always a great time! The local actors are amazing. I always enjoy the story line of each of the plays. I would suggest anyone to take their spouse or significant other for a date night. You won't regret it!"
