Merced County’s first, best, and only game show based on a popular reality show we can’t name—but there’s backstabbing and votes!

Drama Island Poster

Over five unforgettable weeks, 14 bold castaways from across Merced County will test their wits, willpower, and theatrical flair in a live, cutthroat game of alliances, eliminations, and show-stopping surprises, all in front of a live audience at the Merced Arts Center. From epic Sunday showdowns to backstage betrayals, Drama Island is more than a game. It’s a full-scale theatrical experience...and a fundraiser like no other. Who will plot the hardest, play the smartest, and perform under pressure? And who will become Drama Island Season 15 Champion.
