Photo Flash: First Look at 'BATES' at The Public House Theatre
You might have heard this one -- Restless secretary Marion Crane goes on the run after stealing a hefty sum of money. Driven off the road by a storm, she takes refuge at the Bates Motel, run by a polite but peculiar man named Norman, who dotes faithfully on his domineering, aged mother. Marion takes a shower, and the rest is genre-defining history as she meets her end at the hands of a maniac with a knife in a nightdress. Scroll down for a first look at The Public House Theatre's production of "Bates: An 80s Musical Psycho Parody"!
Though the story may be familiar, you've never seen Psycho like this. "Bates: An 80s Musical Psycho Parody" is an energetic romp through Alfred Hitchcock's groundbreaking thriller, set to some of the biggest hits of the 80s.

Spend the most romantic month of the year with the man who exemplifies the adage, "A boy''s first love is his mother."
