No one fainted or busted down barricades, but last weekend’s Beatles Invasion at Plaza Playhouse Theater did flood Carpinteria with nostalgia for the Fab Four ’s arrival in the U.S. 50 years ago. On Feb. 8, a capacity audience rocked and rolled to Beatles covers by The Tearaways and heard from the nationally syndicated “Breakfast with The Beatles” radio show host Dennis Mitchell. The next night’s event featured a Q&A with Alan Parsons and screening of the Beatles’ first appearance on the “Ed Sullivan Show.” Final numbers haven’t been tallied, but the invasion appears to have raised over $4,000 toward a new movie screen at the nonprofit community theater.
