'Aaron Trotter and the Incident at Bikini Beach' July 31, 2009

The surfin' semester starts July 31st!
Introducing
"Aaron Trotter and the Incident at Bikini Beach"
Written by Peter Finch of San Francisco's KFOG radio.

This summer, the Thunderbird is taking you to the beach where Aaron Trotter, the boy wizard... uh, SURFER, will face his greatest challenge and come face-to-face with his destiny! Dropped into the magical land of California and thrust into the tight-knit world of the Surfer Academy, Aaron must win the respect of his classmates, overcome the trials of adolescence and solve the mystery behind the disappearance of his long-lost parents. Little does Aaron know that he is walking right into Evil Von Rottenhauser & Wild-eyed Lulu's really evil plan! Will Aaron discover the horrible truth and still find a date for Friday's beach blanket blowout? Will justice and goodness prevail over their polar opposites? Can the Thunderbird pull off fake tans, surfing scenes and a weenie roast?

Now in its eleventh year in San Francisco, the Thunderbird Theatre Company presents "Aaron Trotter and the Incident at Bikini Beach", the second original comedy by KFOG radio's own Peter Finch. Just as Peter did with, "Aaah, Rosebud", his zombie-fied reimagining of Citizen Kane, he challenges us on what we thought we knew of our most-loved stories. This time it's the adventure of a lonely adolescent boy who discovers that he is meant to be much more than his cousin's tackling dummy.

Directed by San Francisco's own Jeremy Cole, "Aaron Trotter and the Incident at Bikini Beach" assures sweet revenge for every 98-pound weakling who has ever had sand kicked in their face.

"Aaron Trotter and the Incident at Bikini Beach" opens July 31st and runs each Thursday through Monday until August 15th. Produced by the Thunderbird Theatre Company, the play is being performed at San Francisco's EXIT Theatre, 156 Eddy Street San Francisco 94102. All performances begin at 8:00p.m. Ticket Cost: $18 - $25.

$18 - $25.
