The Super Trio ran at The Great American Melodrama

From January 31st through March 7th, my musical — which I wrote and composed — The Super Trio, had its run at The Great American Melodrama. So grateful to the absolutely incredible team who brought this piece to life. I could not be more proud of it finally hitting a professional stage.

The Super Trio has everything you might expect it to have from its title.SLO Review

Holiday Extravaganza at The Great American Melodrama

Back in November/December of 2024, I had the joyous pleasure of being part of the Holiday Extravaganza at The Great American Melodrama. In Act I, I played Bob Cratchit in A Christmas Carol. In Act II, I played the King in Sleeping Beauty. And in Act III, I played the Holiday Joy version of Brett in the Vaudeville. The whole show was a blast, but the King is a role I will never forget. This was the last show of my 2024 contract, and I loved spending the majority of my year bringing smiles to folks on the Central Coast with the most amazing group of people a guy could ask for.

Mollard easily flips through a vast range of emotions throughout the play… Mollard's sadness penetrates.Santa Maria Sun

The Super Trio

Original musical comedy · 2018

In a world where everyone has a superpower, three misfits chase their dreams — and learn that greatness isn't simply handed to you.

Kent, a Class-A former jock with Super Strength, dreams of joining the town's super squad alongside his hero, Captain Metal. For now he works at Burger Town with his friends Jessie, a down-to-earth Class-B girl with Invisibility, and Mikey, a naive Class-C boy with an audience-chosen power.

When the villain Minerva escapes from prison, a plot unfolds that sees the three friends hired to work for Captain Metal — or so they think. Through crime-fighting together, Kent learns a thing or two about life, and that he isn't going to be handed everything he wants.

Available in two versions — a full-company Hero Edition (13 roles + ensemble, 13–14 actors) and a streamlined Sidekick Edition (7 roles + ensemble, 7 actors).

About Me

Brett Mollard

Hello! My name is Brett Mollard, and I am an artist, creator, and actor based on the California central coast. I am passionate about using storytelling as a powerful tool for understanding and addressing the larger issues in our society.

I grew up in Santa Rosa, California, and earned my bachelor's degree in Communications from Sonoma State University. I performed in Sonoma County from 2011–2019, and graduated from the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in 2023. I was a founding member of Redwood Theatre Company in Healdsburg, where I first produced my original musical, The Super Trio.

Philosophy

I strongly believe that storytelling can be a force for both good and bad in our society. When used responsibly, it has the power to bring people together and create positive change — but when used for harmful purposes, such as spreading dehumanizing propaganda or conspiracy theories, it can be dangerous.

As an artist, I believe it is our responsibility to be careful about the stories we choose to tell, and to listen to those who are not always heard. I am passionate about creating works that are accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status or privilege.

My work is primarily focused on the 18–25 age group, who I believe are underestimated and underutilized. I am committed to creating work that brings people together.

Werewolf of Arroyo Grande

In September/October 2024 I played Doinkster in Werewolf of Arroyo Grande (from the genius mind of Cameron Parker) at The Great American Melodrama — plus Big Chicken, and the British Invasion Vaudeville. Had an excellent time Doinkstering, big-chickening, and Beatling.

Gunsmokin'

In July/August 2024 I played Mayor Maynott in Gunsmokin' at The Great American Melodrama, followed by the Planes, Trains & Automobiles vaudeville revue. One of my first Westerns — it gave me a real love for the Wild West. And mayoral duties.

Who Caught the Sheriff?

A western musical whodunit · In development

Somebody kidnapped the Sheriff of Dusty Gulch — and it's up to the town (and the audience) to work out whodunit.

In the Wild West town of Dusty Gulch, California, saloon owner and narrator Kathy Sassy spins the wildest tale she knows: the day somebody kidnapped the Sheriff. To tell it, she needs the crowd's help — because she can never quite remember the name of the terrifying Evil Bandit behind it all, so the audience names him fresh at every show.

A five-actor western musical mystery written for melodrama houses, but played earnest at heart — equal parts whodunit, hoedown, and audience free-for-all.

Characters

Eight roles, played by five actors
  • SHERIFF BO NANZA — overprotective but well-meaning Sheriff · 40s–60s
  • DEPUTY DOUG NANZA — simple but ineffective Deputy · 20s–30s
  • SUSANNA “SUE” NANZA — determined would-be Sheriff · 20s–30s
  • MAYOR CLINT CARTLEFT — seemingly foolish Mayor · 30s–60s
  • WAYNE WESTWOOD — mysterious bounty hunter · 20s–30s
  • KATHY SASSY — saloon owner & narrator · 20s–30s
  • EVIL BANDIT CARTLEFT — “evil” cousin to Clint — named nightly by the audience · 30s–60s
  • LITTLE JIMMY — Kathy's little brother · 14

Designed for 5 actors: Sue · Wayne · Kathy/Little Jimmy · Sheriff Bo/Deputy Doug · Mayor Clint/Bandit Cartleft. (One of the doubling actors sings tenor, the other bass.)
