Up+Adam welcomes Hunter Oehlschlager, Ava Lovelace, and Annabelle “Annie” Oglesby into SLO CAL Studios for a rip-roaring conversation about The Great American Melodrama’s current production, The Saga of Roaring Gulch. Since 1975, The Great American Melodrama in Oceano has been a Central Coast treasure, serving up musicals, comedies, classic melodrama, vaudeville, audience participation, and the kind of live theater chaos you simply cannot fake. In this episode, Adam sits down with three performers who bring PCPA roots, local theater heart, and serious comedy chemistry to the stage.

This conversation goes beyond the show itself and into what makes Central Coast theater so special. The cast talks about finding their people through theater, what it feels like to be part of the Melodrama’s long history, the unsung hero pressure of being an understudy, why every performance can feel different, and how a great comedy cast learns to trust, listen, and play. If you love live theater, local talent, western mayhem, saloon-style laughs, and performers who are clearly having as much fun as the audience, saddle up for The Saga of Roaring Gulch at The Great American Melodrama.
