Sneak Peek
Now Playing at Gaslight Melodrama
The 1950's in Bakersfield, California were a different time. Fast cars and fun times ruled the main drag, Chester Avenue, and rock and roll was pumping across the airwaves on KAFY, The BIG 55! And no one was enjoying themselves more than The Jets and The Sweet Ladies, Bakersfield's coolest of cool cats and kittens. But when evil businessman, Jack Fleming, walks into their favorite hangout, Andre's, and threatens to buy it up and put in a dry cleaners to anticipate the onslaught of new development coming with the construction of Highway 58, the coolest kids in town will have to find a way to save their spot and their streets for all future Cruisers to come. Dust off your old leather jackets and get on your poodle skirts, because this is one journey the whole family will want to see. This 50's Jukebox Melodrama musical was written and directed by our very own, Michael Prince.

"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."

"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!"
