Sneak Peek
Now Playing at Gaslight Melodrama
For decades, Ming Lake was a quiet refuge for family and friends who wanted to take a load off and enjoy some of the finer things in life, like motorboating, water-skiing and even sailing, when time permited. But, when you two unlucky campers find the secret that this lake has been hiding for years, they will stop at nothing to convince the town that there is a magical mermaid living in it. The only problem is that no one believes them. With time running out, they'll need all the help they can get to convince the town of their finding and hopefully save the lovely mermaid before it's too late. This is the biggest fish tale the Melodrama has ever told and it's sure to be one the whole family will enjoy.

"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!"
