It’s not quite Gidget Goes Hawaiian, but it’s close in Charles Busch’s Psycho Beach Party in which drag meets muscle (of course, it’s Charles Busch!) meets schizophrenia and innocence is abused (well, we should hope so) along with various genres of 1960’s teen-market movies. The Easy Street Players are making this camp classic easy on viewers’ eyes with muscle boy Jeffrey Patrick Olson as beach god Kanaka. Olson took a Physique gold medal in Chicago’s own Gay Games VII. Yeah, but can he act? Does it really matter? On the other hand, Miss Looptopia 2007, Steve Hickson, also stars. Easy Street Players’ Psycho Beach Party runs through Sat., Oct. 20, at the Athenaeum Theatre, 2936 N. Southport; 773-935-6860; $15.
