Travel back in time to when things were groovy with the Ocean City Theatre Company’s upcoming production of “SHOUT! The Mod Musical,” running at Ocean City Music Pier Oct. 11 through 20.
According to OCTC:
This bright vinyl time capsule tracks five groovy girls as they come of age in the ’60s and flips through the years, taking you back to the music, fashion, and freedom of that liberating decade. Packed full of songs, dance, and nostalgia, SHOUT! features a cavalcade of almost 30 hits, including “Downtown,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” “These Boots Were Made For Walking,” “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me,” “Shout,” and many more.
“SHOUT! The Mod Musical” tracks the decade that brought us Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” the Peace Corps, Betty Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique,” the Civil Rights Act, the Vietnam War, “Star Trek,” the first heart transplant, the first Super Bowl, the first man on the moon, the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Jr., Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, Mary Quant’s mini-skirt, the Beatles, “Laugh-In,” and second British Invasion.
“SHOUT!” runs at the Ocean City Music Pier on Oct. 11, 12, 18, and 19 at 7:00 p.m., with matinees on Oct.13 and 20 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $25.00 and available at oceancitytheatrecompany.com or at the Box Office 45 minutes prior to curtain on show days.
