Santa Ynez, CA - "The Great Ice Cream Scheme, or Robin Baskins to the Rescue" is a funny melodrama that will bring lots of laughter and fun to the audience.
In April 2007, Santa Ynez Christian Academy Middle School drama class will be presenting a melodrama titled The Great Ice Cream Scheme or … Robin Baskins to the Rescue!Melodrama is a wonderful format for actors to experience an energetic, light-hearted approach to our vaudeville past. “Once again the villain and villainess will boil your blood, the hero and heroine will win your hearts, and the jokes will split your corsets!” says Ceci Endy one of the co-directors of the play.
