PLAY Conservatory will stage the New Mexico premiere of “Go-Go Beach” as part of its Summer Stock 2012 program.

The play is a musical fable about the shift of consciousness in America in the mid-1960s, told in the style of the popular California beach party movies.

In the coming-of-age story, a surfer gets into trouble with his girlfriend when he falls for a runaway teen pop star, and with the help of his flower-child friend finds the true meaning of love.
