Surflight Theatre’s next main-stage musical will be “Disaster!,” opening on Tuesday, Aug. 22. It replaces “Annie Warbucks,” which will end its run on Aug. 20.

Now, disaster movies are nothing new. For example, James Cameron’s 1997 “Titanic” was actually the 12th film about the sinking of the “unsinkable ship,” dating all the way back to 1912, when a short silent film from Germany was released just four months after the incident.
