Camino Real Playhouse South Orange County Theatre

ATTEND OUR ANNUAL MELODRAMA

By Gary McCarver and Tom Scott
Directed by Gary McCarver

This adaptation of the story of Modesta Avila whose efforts to stop the train from running through San Juan Capistrano put the town in turmoil and was the "Law and Order" of its day! Of course we have added some great music, some familiar town characters and a whole slew of shameless plugs referencing local merchants. You will love every minute and will of course be able to answer the question ... "Will her Knickers ever be clean?" The most fun you will ever have in the theatre in years. Suitable for the entire family with foam rocks to throw at the villain and cue cards to remind us to "Boo" or "Cheer".

Show Details

Mayhem, Mystery, Murderous Intentions & Music return each year to San Juan Capistrano in our somewhat authentic Old West Style Melodramas

Here at the Camino Real Playhouse our brand of authentic old west style melodramas have been thrilling audiences each season since 1990. Turn back the calendar and prepare for a hilarious time that appeals to all ages where everyone joins in the fun by cheering the hero, booing the villain and tossing the occasional foam "rock" at that vile and reprehensible scoundrel.

Oh no! ... Say it isn't true! ... I missed the 2009 production of The Broken Badge ... please tell me what happened ... I simply must know.

For those of you that missed our great melodrama ... you will just have to wait 5 years until it comes back again ... sorry ... you snooze ... you lose. So don't miss our new great production in 2010 ... which marks the 20th anniversary of the Playhouse. More information on that as we approach Summer ... buy tickets early. Don't worry ... we will tell you more very soon and make tickets available online.
