We first started out with our main function of the theatre company being melodramas, and melodramas being popular in the gaslight era, we felt it natural to name the theatre company in accordance with this technology of the time. Also, the late Alice McDonald, local melodrama playwright, produced her plays under the name of Vacaville Gaslighters. Being that the melodramas are now produced in dedication to her and Carol Zadnik, her music director, we also felt it necessary to continue the name that the melodramas were originally produced under.
