BEACHES BE TRIPPIN' Brings Camp to The Ringwald Tonight

The Ringwald Theatre, the undisputed Champ of Camp, is no stranger to the world of parody. Its wildly popular Summer Camp series proves that year after year. This year, The Ringwald will dip its sandy toe into the coastal tides of BEACHES BE TRIPPIN'.

See See Bloomers and Whitney Hillary meet cute at a young age on the Jersey Shore and become fast friends. A lifetime of penpal-ism prepares them for a future of laughs, jealousy, big hair, Otto Titsling, and, ultimately (spoiler alert!), death.

With BEACHES BE TRIPPIN', Joe Bailey and Richard Payton, the Hepburn and Tracy (Lucy and Ethel?) of Detroit, reunite after last year's turns as Jane and Blanche Hudson in Whatever, Baby Jane!. As See See and Whitney, Bailey and Payton promise to keep the comedy alive, even in the face of certain death. Joining them are Brenton Herwat and Scott Jason Alexander Cook playing everyone else.

Brandy Joe Plambeck takes writing and directing duties. Tanner Murray will costume.

BEACHES BE TRIPPIN' opens tonight, July 11, 2015 and plays through Monday, August 3, 2015 at 8pm on Saturday and Monday nights with 3pm Sunday matinees. Ticket prices are $20.00 for Saturday performances, $15 for Sunday shows, and Monday nights are HALF OFF the original ticket price at only $10 a ticket. All students can now receive a $5 discount off normal ticket price on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday performances (available at the box office the day of the show with valid student ID). Tickets can be purchased at www.TheRingwald.com or at the theatre box office. The Ringwald box office opens 45 minutes before performances and tickets can be purchased with cash or Visa/Mastercard.

The Ringwald opened their doors eight years ago on May 11, 2007 with Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy. Quickly, The Ringwald became a mainstay of Detroit's theatre community. Past Productions include: Angels in America, Into the Woods, The Motherfucker with the Hat, August: Osage County, When the Rain Stops Falling, The Bad Seed, Making Porn, The Book of Liz, Rent, and Love! Valour! Compassion!. The Ringwald was named 2009, 2012 and 2013 Best Theatrical Troupe by Real Detroit and Best Place to See Local Theatre in 2010, 2011 and 2012 by the readers of Metro Times.
