American Coast Theater Company Announces Its Summer 2023 Production: FOREVER PLAID

ACTC begins the Summer 2023 season with its production of the musical comedy Forever Plaid written by Stuart Ross and arranged by James Raitt. This musical is made for anyone who enjoys the pop hits of the 1950s barbershop and boy-band quartet era!

Forever Plaid is a widely successful musical celebrating the goofy reincarnation of four male singers killed in a car crash on their way to a big concert. This deliciously fun revue is chock-full of classic barbershop quartet harmonies and pitch-perfect melodies! Singing in close harmony, all while squabbling over the smallest intonations, the "Plaids" are a guaranteed smash, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they're not humming along to some of the great nostalgic pop hits of the 1950s.
