The Bikinis at Revision Theatre in Asbury Park.
It was the summer of 1964, at the Belmar Beach Talent Contest. Four local girls entered the contest, & won! This was the day "The Bikinis" was born (named for their beachware worn on that fateful day).
The four members of the group; Sisters Jodi & Annie (Kathy Morath & Annie Golden) from Paramus, their best friend from Staten Island, Barbara (Cheryl Freeman),.& their cousin from Philadelphia, Karla (Karyn Quackenbush) have reunited at Sandy Shores RV Resort to raise money to save the beloved mobile home park, which is in danger of being taken over by a developer.
