While performances of The Holiday Extravaganza will be held through Dec. 31 at the Great American Melodrama in Oceano, tickets are currently available in advance for the company’s next production, Grave Mistakes. The upcoming show is scheduled to open on Jan. 26 and run through March 16.
The play’s plot follows Ray, who falls in love with his aspiring novelist housemate, Molly, according to the Great American Melodrama’s website. Ray’s chances of courting Molly get pushed to the backburner when the duo’s landlord teams up with a ghost hunter and plots to kick his two tenants out in order to transform their home into a horror-themed tourist destination.
Thirty minutes before each performance of both Grave Mistakes and The Holiday Extravaganza, the Great American Melodrama opens its popular snack bar, which reopens during intermission segments of both productions as well.
