Drama Island Merced

Shoutout to our other family member: Saboteur! Two seasons of community members working together in weekly challenges; however, one of them is a mole trying to sabotage those challenges.

Leads us to our Drama Island question: Which season, 1 or 2, could WIN at Drama Island?

Feel free to comment...and also who do you think from that season would be the ultimate winner?

Happy Super Bowl! Inspired by this game of champions and those that might have been champions... Without choosing yourself who is the best Drama Island player to NEVER win the game??

Celebrating 10 years of Drama Island we also want to thank Playhouse Merced for providing a home for 13 seasons.

Started as a crazy game show with 20 to 30 something people in the audience, which grew to the final episode of season 13 being close to packed.

All the contestants can tell you...one of the fun challenges was having a game show coincide with whatever set design would be up for the various shows playing. It was a fun time...which saw a LOT of challenges in that space and on the theatre floor. Thank you!

Celebrating 10 years we cannot post without acknowledging the creators of this crazy show...Robert Hypes and Bill Cook. They both created and both have competed...but without them it was never possible.

10 years ago a crazy experiment went down in Merced at Playhouse Merced.

8 contestants from all over had no idea what to expect. 5 weeks went by leaving only two finalists: Chente Cervantes and Joseph Hypes. Chente would go on to be the first winner of Drama Island. His win would create a competition that then went on to 12 more seasons, and 11 more winners (Robert Hypes winning twice).

And NOW what will the future hold?

Happy Drama Island day!

2021 could be a good time to come back to the Island. 🤔😉
