THE PHANTOM OF OCEAN PARK is a Full Cast Audio Drama Podcast – In 1968, Ocean Park in Santa Monica was one of those quintessential places at the epicenter of "Somethin' happenin' here", to quote Stephen Stills. Ocean Park, Venice, by the water, it was Haight-Ashbury, with a beach. All peace and love, until Santa Monica City and its developers imposed eminent domain and bulldozed the beach neighborhoods, devastating families and bankrupting P-O-P, our beloved amusement park, so they could tear down the pier and start throwing up high-rises from Pico to Venice. But that summer of '68, they had a big problem. The Cheetah, Ocean Park's world-renowned rock'n'roll club, was still on the pier and wildly popular, with top bands packing the house nightly…. Then the murders started. The Phantom of Ocean Park was produced, written, and directed by Chris Côté and Dayle Kerry.
