Another great afternoon spent talking with 23ABC Bakersfield. We’re looking forward to getting back to providing Bakersfield with fun and laughter for the whole family!

Such a great afternoon chatting with Bakersfield Tuff. We can’t wait to bring back the fun and laughter!

Thank you for all the birthday love and well wishes! Here’s a virtual birthday tune done in true melodrama fashion by the one and only Warren Dobson! Enjoy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MELODRAMA! Thanks for all the love and support and for allowing us to keep the fun going for 15 years! Here’s to another 15! -The Melodrama Family

We know Christmas is a long way away but until then...CHRISTMAS IN JULY! What’s your favorite Christmas show??

Meet the actor! Today is none other than the extremely talented, Tammy White! Tammy has been acting at the melodrama since the 2015 revival of My Big Fat Oildale Wedding but she’s been acting since 8th grade when she performed at the Kern Shakespeare Festival, she got some laughs and was hooked for life! Her favorite role at the Gaslight is any role she gets to play opposite of Jen Prince, we think the two make a pretty hilarious pair as well! You may catch Tammy on your TV screen... in 1995 she went on Wheel of Fortune and WON! Let Tammy know your favorite show or memory in the comments below!

It's another meet the actor! Today we want to highlight one of our favorite leading ladies, Ali Dougherty! Ali has been with the Gaslight since 2011 but she's been performing since she was 4 years old. One of Ali's favorite rolls at GMT was when she played Pam in The Witches of Westchester(if you need a refresher take a look at the 3rd photo). Ali also teaches dance next door at Linda Larma & Daughters Academe of Dance. When Ali isn't singing and dancing you may find her practicing her secret talent, playing the piano or hanging out with her adorable frenchie/BFF Miss Piggy! Don't forget to leave Ali a comment below with a message or memory!

Remember the days we could all come together and cheer the hero, boo the villains and laugh ourselves silly? We miss those those days. We cannot wait to get back to it but until then we hope you and your families are having fun and staying safe!

We’re throwing it back this Thursday to see if anyone can name this show! Good luck!

One of our fan favorites Shawn Michael Rader reading for his Kindergarten class! Shawn has had many roles at the melodrama over the past 9 years including some off stage, up in the light booth. We think this might be his best role yet! Way to go Shawn!

We’re taking it back today to a fun project we got to do with hectic films! This micro doc is all about your favorite local melodrama! Enjoy!

It’s Warren Crush Wednesday! Warren has been playing the keys at the Gaslight since it’s opening. Did you know Warren writes and directs all of our Vaudeville Revues? Lucky for us, he sometimes takes the stage in them too! He also has a pretty intense sweet tooth, so if you ever see him snacking at the piano there’s a good chance it’s candy! Comment down below any favorite vaudevilles or memories for Warren!

Flashback Friday! Can anyone name this classic Melodrama show?
