-
- These comments are not mine (mostly) but of some of the readers of
- alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror
-
-
- The Loft Cinema - Tucson, AZ
- Sat, Midnight, $4.50
- Comments: Huge theater, big screen, new film. Audience mostly high
- school and college students. Some cast members have an awful sense of
- timing. Virgins are married before sacrificed. (We have morals... NOT
- :)
-
- Rialto - So. Pasadena, CA
- Sat, Midnight, runs about 8 months per year
- Comments: This place is in the National Registry of Historical
- Landmarks. It is one of the few remaining original vaudville
- theatres, complete with orchestra pit, bizarre pseudo-Egyptian decore,
- and gaudy paint. The balcony is usually closed. You might recognize
- it, because it has been used in _many_ motion pictures. I recall at
- least Kentucky Fried Movie being filmed there. It has been several
- years since I saw Rocky Horror there, but they still line up every
- Saturday.
- Comments: "The Player" is the best known most recent film which takes
- place at the Rialto.
-
- Varsity Theatre - Palo Alto, CA
- Sat, Midnight, $6.75; $3.75 if in RHPS costume.
- Phone: 415-323-6411 (program info recording)
- 415-323-6431 (box office)
- Comments: A very large (~800 seat?) vintage theatre with a full
- stage. The cast, Erotic Nightmares, just celebrated its 6th
- anniversary.
-
- SouthBay Galleria General Cinemas - Redondo Beach, CA
- Cast: "Tonight's Menu", Cinema 3 at midnight on Saturday (or thereabouts)
- Cost: $5, Props: Everything except rice, tortillas, and open flame.
- Directions: 405 to Hawthorne Blvd. Theatre is nestled beside a mall
- (The Galleria) between Artesia and 182nd about a mile SouthWest of the
- freeway on Hawthorne.
- Comments: The theatre is a large commercial (500 seat) theatre with no
- atmosphere, but the cast makes every attempt to get the audience in
- the "Rocky" mood. A stage is set up in the front of the theatre and
- professional lighting is used to illuminate the actors. Prior to the
- show is what has been described as "one of the most continuously
- original pre-shows ever done" where virgins are sacrificed in
- different ways each week. There is usually a social smoke-fest in the
- lobby where regulars tend to ignore long stretches of the movie. The
- cast is open and very friendly with the audience. "Tonight's Menu" is
- 3 years old.
-
- UC Berkeley - Berkeley, CA
- Sat, Midnight, $6.00
- Comments: It's about 5 blocks below UCB. The cast is excellent and it
- is considered the best cast in the country (so say the fan club in
- NY). We have official virgin hunters outside the theater before the
- show. The virgins are marked with "V" or "Fuck Me" in lipstick on
- their faces so that they can be easily identified by those with rice
- and other projectiles. We also have Super Heroes in the uncut version
- of the film. We also show shorts or music videos before the main
- feature. Sometimes the cast isn't there, but we have a good time
- anyway. About four times a year we have lengerie night complete with
- a competition for the best outfit. Other goofy things are known to
- happen, like last night when the entire cast was dressed as Star Trek
- characters who had been forced to play out the roles of RH. Our next
- lengerie night is tentatively scheduled for early July.
- Comments: Berkeley has been running the longest of them all..
-
- Camera One - San Jose, CA
- Sat, Midnight
- Phone: 408-294-3800
-
- Mayfair Theatre - Ottawa, CAN
- Show RHPS two or three times a month
-
- Palace - Montreal, Canada
- St. Catherine St. W.
-
- Flatiron - Boulder, CO
- Every other week (?)
- Phone: 303-442-1944.
- Comments: The theater is at the corner of 13th Street and College, just
- one block from the CU-Boulder campus. It seems to show only every two
- weeks. The cast is called Deep Throat Nine, and they are a crazy
- bunch: they yell backa t the audience and throw things at them,
- including a two-quart pitcher of water in the water-cooler scene in
- Sweet Transvestite. Before the show are cast-lead cheers and songs and
- jokes. No Super Heroes. A lot less structure than the show at
- Berkeley CA.
- Comments: Rocky does play at the FlatIrons in Boulder, CO, everyother
- weekend, unless the manager decides he doesn't want a bunch of happy
- transvestites in his theater that weekend and says the projector or
- broken.
-
- Esquire - Denver, CO
- 6th and Downing street.
- addmission : $6.00
- time : 11:45 theatre lets in
- 12:00 virgin stuff and rules
- 12:15 Show starts
- Every saterday night
- Comments: Not the best show in the world, but has been improving
- steadily Only cast and crew is allowed on stage. Our theatre is dry
- and no open flames (flamming ok) allowed. all other props OK. we
- distribute "Official Certificates of Non-Virginity" to those recently
- popped. Audience participation scripts with OUR lines also available
- for the cost of copies. We have also been running a small spotlight
- for 6 months with limited success. Our film has superheros intact,
- high quality print (no glitches). try outs are held regulary for new
- players, If coming into town with some notice, drop me a line, we may
- be able to arrange something. our theatre seats 200, we have 25-75 on
- average. Contact: Leo Lionetti lionetti@beethoven.cs.colostate.edu
-
- Aggie Theater - Ft. Collins, CO
- Price: $4.00
- Comments: Rocky Horror has returned to the Aggie Theatre in Fort
- Collins Colorado. The theatre is located at 204 S. College. The show
- is organized by the Rocky Horror Society at Colorado State University.
- The show is $4.00. The cast The Rocky Whores is well rehearsed and
- features the best frank in the state. Preshow festivities include the
- S&M Man and "Let's fake an orgasm." Due to the addition of new seats
- to the theatre, it is a no fire or water allowed show. Flashlights
- are encouraged during "There's a Light". The Show most recently played
- Oct 29,30, and Nov 5,6. It should be back around April 1, the
- aniversary of Rocky's re-release as a midnight movie.
-
- York Square - New Haven, CT
- Fri & Sat, 11:30, $5.50
- Comments: Brand new print with Super Heroes.
-
- Southport - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
- Saturdays at midnight, $6
- Comments: Tremendous dinner-theater type place. Audience actually
- sits at tables, and there are waiters who actually bring food and
- drink (even beer!) during the performance. Upon entry, you receive a
- bag containing toast and rice. Audience is rather unruly (due to
- being somewhat drunk), but the cast is usually very good. (Note I
- said usually.) The pre-show is interesting... sometimes the actor
- playing Brad will play "Great Balls of Fire" on the actress playing
- Magenta, sometimes Brad will lip synch "The Masochism Tango" with
- Frank. They used to have a Friday show, but I hear tell that they've
- cancelled it.
-
- Northlake 8 - Atlanta, GA
- Comments: If you are looking for a really professional cast, might I
- suggest the Northlake 8 in Atlanta. The cast really does a good job
- (and, I played Brad/Riff/Magenta there for a year prior to moving to
- Gainesville). The Northlake 8 is a great theater! For directions,
- just take I-75 to Northlake Drive and head east. You cannot miss the
- Mall, it is on the right side of Northlake Drive, and the AMC is near
- Toys-R-Us. Tell them Tom Servo sent ya! Ask for Kim McFarland, she
- is the area Rep of the Nat'l Fan Club, as well as a teriffic Frank!
- Comments: I've been preforming at the Northlake AMC 8 theatre in
- Atlanta GA for the last 4 years now, mostly as Brad Majors, but have
- played every part at least 2 times. We have a VERY good, and you could
- say a more 'professional' cast than most places (id assume). We
- preform every friday and Saturday night at approx 12:30 p.m. at the
- Northalke Festival AMC 8 theatre off of LaVista Rd near I-285 in
- Atlanta, GA. We welcome all types and persuasions, and are always
- looking for fresh flesh... erm.. new cast members. :>
-
- The Georgia Theater - Athens, GA
- Comments: It used to be a regular movie house but now it is a
- bar...which still occasionally shows movies. There is a big stage and
- the balcony is, so far as I've seen, always open. They put on RHPS
- once per academic quarter and I believe the admission is $2. A group
- of RHPS players just recently formed and performed for the first time
- at the winter quarter show. Because the theater is generally a club,
- there is a wet bar and smoking is allowed during the show. If you
- don't want to sit in the regular (well worn) seats, there are tables
- and standing room in the back by the bar. The management is very cool
- about all the stuff fans like to do and ask only that you do not touch
- the screen. The crowd tends to be almost exclusively college students,
- since Athens is a college town. It's a great time for $2.
-
- The Wave - Honolulu, HI
- Last Saturday of the month, 8:00pm, *FREE*
- Comments: Here is a great deal for any Rocky fan if they are planning a
- trip to Hawaii. If you are in town on the last Saturday of the month
- a club called "The Wave" plays the movie for free. The only problem
- with this showing is that there is no cast to speak of, and that the
- show begins at 8:00 p.m. or there about. There are us few regulars
- that go almost every month and we are starting to get more to come to
- the show. Who knows we might get a cast on of these days.
-
- Henenway Theater - University of Hawaii Manoa campus, HI
- Saturday at midnight, $4.00
-
- Varsity Theatre - Ames, IA
- Two showings a year. They are on Halloween and the day before.
-
- Greenbriar Theater - Indianapolis, IN
- Sat. Midnight $4.00
- Comments: We are an up-and-comming cast that has been around for a
- while but is just now getting up on our feet. If you have just come
- to Indiana for college or whatever and are looking for a regular
- Rocky, we can use some dedicated cast members. We get wild and out of
- control, but hey, it's Rocky Horror and it is a hell of a time. To
- get to Greenbriar, take the northern leg of I465, take the Meridian
- street exit and go south and then turn right onto 86th street and go
- for several blocks until you get to 86th and Ditch.
-
- Harvard Square - Cambridge, MA
- Midnight on Fri and Sat, $6.75
- Comments: Across the street from Harvard.
- Comments: Cambridge,Mass' "Full Body Cast" puts on the RHPS with a real
- flair for perfection and, er, eagerness to please. With two full
- multi- talented companies, plus understudies, many of whom can play
- more than one role, and whose onstage appearances, costumes, and
- personas greatly resemble those of their characters, as well as full
- costumes, lights, props, and security tech crews, this exciting bunch
- has won popularity among Boston area audiences, and has earned many
- awards and much acclaim nationwide at RHPS conventions/competitions.
- The film itself is the original version (with "Super Heroes", and
- "Science Fiction - Reprise"), and has no breaks or skips. Viewers can
- exoect a great-looking performance and show, and maybe a few
- surprises, such as a special visit from "Animal", or "Barney", from
- Alex/655321, from a member of "the Clown family, or from Ed Norton or
- Phyllis Diller, or, if they're lucky, a gender-switched role or two,
- such as a male Columbia, a female Scotty, a male Trixie, or a
- Criminologist in drag!
- Show rituals include:
- 1.) Full musical pre-show, with one or two pre-rehearsed numbers,
- (e.g. "Y.M.C.A.", "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)", "Hot For Teacher") along
- with one or two RH faves (stage versions), usually "Time Warp", and
- either "Sweet T", "Dammit Janet", or "Hot Patootie", also
- pre-rehearsed. Numbers change monthly.
- 2.) Warm-up audience welcome/greeting speech; during which the whole
- house gets to warm up its wit and wisecracks, due to the "pun-tiful"
- words of either the (very!) Good Doctor or Commander Riff-Raff. Rules
- are laid out (LAID??) herein, that is: Rule #1 - "NO PUFTAS" (python),
- Rule #2 - No burning lighters, matches, flammable hairdos, etc (no
- "open flames") during "Frankenstein Place", and Rule #3 - No props! No
- tossing any rice, toast, etc, or using squirt guns (except tossing
- "off"/ using your "Love Gun" in the bathroom).
- 3.) One or two virgins get their symoblic "cherries" popped (by way of
- a nice big shiny red balloon between the legs), and as an extra treat,
- get to play Betty Hapschatt in the wedding scene. If two picked,
- either the "lame-ometer" is used to judge who needs it more, or if
- they're both dead fucks, one pops the other!
-
- University of Southern Maine - Portland, ME
- [ed: shows moved to unspecified date]
-
- Capitol - Flint, MI
- Comments: Does it once a year
-
- Uptown - Minneapolis, MN
- Sat, Midnight
- Comments: I saw the RHPS there many times growing up: The Uptown is a
- relatively small theatre with great atmo. Don't try to sneak in
- alcohol or too much rice, they frisk you at the door. Their motto:
- "Drink it before you get here." The cast is good, the crowd is odd,
- as usual, and the people are relatively friendly, if messed up.
- Comments: They have a fairly new print with "Superheroes" & "SFDF -
- reprise" at the end.
-
- Silver Screen - Biloxi, MS
- Fri & Sat, Midnight, $4.50
- Comments: As I said, they show it every Fri. and Sat. at 12:00. Entry
- is $4.50, but that includes pizza and beer (if you're of age.) Great
- theater, primo sound system, HUGE screen...all in all, a great place
- to see RHPS.
-
- Rialto - Raleigh, NC
- Friday, 11:30 pm
- The Wild and Untamed Players
- Comments: Rialto theatre is located at Five points on glenwood Ave in
- downtown Raleigh. This is one of the best Rocky shows around. I've
- been to shows in Pittsburgh-Dormont theatre, other NC shows, and even
- at Prince Charles theatre in London. This show is awesome because of
- its dynamic nature and its liberal management. All Rocky props are
- allowed including lighters and water throwing devices. Want to stand
- up and move around wherever you want, no problem, anything goes! This
- Rocky features an underwear run, wherin the audience strips and runs
- around after guess who Rocky! Cool Virgin ritual! Original lines!
- If you are a visitor from far away, ask someone for a place to stay
- for the night and go to the party after each show!
-
- Cinema 35 - Paramus, NJ
- Fri & Sat, Midnight, $5.00
- Comments: Our cast went to the Rocky Horror mini convention in
- Washington DC on April 24th. Out of the six of us who went, three of
- us pulled first places in the costume contest. Out of all the other
- theatres represented there we were told by all of them that we had the
- loudest most enthusiastic Rocky crew any of them had ever seen. Even
- Sal heard some lines he never heard before. Our lines are always up to
- date. On that weekend we had some David Koresh lines strewn about by
- us. Our theatre allows most things except it only allows cast members
- and the five transylvanians we haqve to go up to the first few rows of
- the theatre and up to the screen. THere are no open flames permited in
- our theatre (well except for mike but hes okay) so the lighter scene
- is done with flashlights. We are allowed to throw just about anything.
- New lines are always welcome. The only problem with our theatre is
- that our film is falling apart. The entire dinner scene is cut from
- when Frank turns off the magnet until Eddies Teddy begins. During the
- wedding scene a huge blue line runs accross the screen back an forth.
- Its cool sometimes because every so often our film's mess ups lead to
- new lines. We are currently in the process of getting a new film fron
- TC Fox.
-
- Harwan - Mt. Ephraim, NJ
- Saturday, midnight, $5.00
- Comments: I am a member of the Transducer Players from the Harwan
- Theater in Mount Ephraim, NJ. We are one of the oldest casts in the
- country. We are also the only cast in South Jersey. The Transducer
- Players are pictures on pages 120-121 of Sal's 15th anniversary book,
- as well as pictured on the back cover with the eastside cinema cast.
- (That was just after they lost the 8th street playhouse in the
- village.) We haven't had Friday night shows in over two years. Thank
- the econnomy for that. What we do have are shows EVERY saturday night
- at midnight, admition is still only $5.00. The theater itself is a
- single screen, 640 seat theater complete with stage. It's actually an
- old vaudville theater. An average show is 200-250 people. We sell
- out every weekend in october.

- Brook Theatre - Bound Brook, NJ
- Comments: The Brook Theatre on Hamiltong Street in Bound Brook, NJ shows Rocky
- Horror on Friday and Saturday nights. [ed: They have a cast, I met
- some of them at Age of Consent :) ]
-
- Cinema Classics - Redbank, NJ
- Saturdays
-
- Torrey Pines Cinema - Las Vegas, NV
- Fri-Sat, ca. Midnight, $3.50
- Comments: Cast, virgin ceremonies, the usual (?). No Super Heroes.
- Torrey Pines also runs Heavy Metal, Sid and Nancy, animation, anime,
- other midnight-type movies on the same schedule. (93 May 14)
-
- Amherst - Buffalo, NY
- $5.00 or $3.50 w/ID
- Comments: If you're in Buffalo, stop in and visit the cast of "Crazed
- Imagination" sometime....:)
-
- Lockport Mall - Buffalo, NY
- Price: $5.50
- Comments: The crowds are small and the cast is sporadic..but it's fun!!
- It is off of Transit Rd.,FYI
-
- Movieland 8th Street - New York, NY
- Price - $7.50 (Just like most New York City movies...Yuck)
- Every Friday and Saturday night
- Comments: Rocky is still going strong in New York City at Movieland, on
- 8th St. (Just 1 block from the now closed 8th St. Playhouse). While
- the cast is constantly changing, there are a few regulars, including
- several people who date back to the Playhouse, and even the Waverly,
- before that. Rice isn't allowed, but lighters, and noisemakers are.
- In fact, they are sold by the cast for people who forgot to bring
- props. Virgins are sacrificed, sometimes (when time, and the
- projectionist allow) we have a few pre-show numbers. We have
- Superheroes. After the show the cast (and as many people as we can
- drag with us) usually go to Polyesthers (A 70's theme bar with Rocky
- in the Jukebox). They love us. We usually go in costume, and they
- put Rocky on the TV when we get there.
-
- Cinema East - Nyack, NY
- Comments: I enjoyed this theater. went there twice. they have a pink
- panther short at the beginning, and (when i was there) a good cast.
- mostly the same lines as 8th street playhouse.
-
- Jo-Mor's Stoneridge Theater - Rochester, NY
- Fri & Sat, midnight, $5.00
- Comments: I am a former member of the cast that performs here, "Sweet
- Temptations". When I left, the show had deteriorated to the point of
- being just not fun anymore--obnoxious management, random horsing
- around while in costume, etc. However, the cast finally saw the low
- attendance which resulted from this, and is now trying to get serious
- and rebuild itself. I'm always willing to give second chances when
- they're due...so go check 'em out, and give them some well-needed
- encouragement.
- Comments: I'm a current member of the cast. It's fairly open, and
- we're always trying to recruit new cast members. We enjoy good
- relations with management, the cast and regulars regularly hang out
- together (after the show, and otherwise), and we interact strongly
- with our audiences.

- Graceland - Columbus, OH
- Fri & Sat, Midnight, $4.00
- (614) 888-3523
- Comments: The Rocky Horror Picture Show is playing at the Graceland
- Twin Cinema in Columbus, Ohio at the Graceland shopping Center off of
- High Street. It plays both Friday and Saturday nights at midnight (of
- course) with a live cast both nights (two members of which are writing
- this message). Price of admission is $4.00, though the cast does get
- in for free. If you have any questions, call the theatre at (614)
- 888-3523 and ask for Brian, Mae, or Wendy. If you have any virgins
- amongst you, ask for Brian, he'll take care of them. P.S. only rice is

-
- Real Movies - Cincinnati, OH
- Every other weekend

- Maumee theater - Maumee, OH
- Every now and then
-
- Cla-Zel - Bowling Green, OH
- Every now and then
-
- Clinton Street - Portland, OR
- Sat, $4.00 with cast, $3.50 without
- Comments: Shows run every Saterday night with the Caberiet performing
- about every other weekend. It has been showing RHPS for almost 17
- years which I believe makes it the longest running show in the US.
- Audience varies, tends to be louder on cast nights, but good. There
- are often theme nights, last night, for example was "Fuck with your
- character night" The one con is that you are considered a virgin if
- you have never seen RHPS at Clinton Street. Overall it's lots of fun.
-
- Lehigh - Allentown, PA
- Fri & Sat, Midnight, $5.50
- Comments: Name of the cast is "Sins of the Flesh" out of Bethlehem, PA.
- Excellent cast, all ages and skill levels. Has been known to perform
- RHPS at more than one location at the same night. (ie enuff talented
- cast for two complete performances.)
- Comments: All props are allowed except open flames and water. They
- have Superheroes.
-
- The Hollywood Theater - Pittsburgh, PA
- Sat, 10pm, $3.00
- Comments: They have a performance cast. They also show TWO Tim Curry
- Videos before Rocky starts, Paradice Garage and I do the Rock. They
- are the only place in the Pittsburgh area that has the current rights.
- You are allowed all standard props except WATER. we also have a brand
- new Print of it and it looks GREAT!
- Comments: Not only that, but it *does* contain the entire "Super
- Heroes"--only time in 10+ years of viewing in both SoCal and
- Pittsburgh I have ever seen that scene.
-
- Roxy - Philadelphia, PA
- Midnight, $5.50
- Comments: "The cast is compleatly crazy." They're good, but sometimes
- get carried away. The theater is small, but large enough to do a good
- show. You are not allowed to throw anything or have open flames
- either.
-
- Meadowbrook Cinema - Warwick, RI
- Fri & Sat, midnight, $5.00
- Cast: Creatures of the Night
- Comments: The management of this theater is REALLY obnoxious...he
- doesn't allow any religious comments, the house lights are up during
- the show so the security can force people to stay in their seats
- (except for the Time Warp, of course), the audience has to sign a
- WAIVER before buying tickets, etc.). In February of 1993, the original
- cast had a huge fallout with said management over the increasing number
- of restrictions that were being imposed on us, and we left the theater.
- We moved to the Jane Pickens Theater (see below), and the management
- assembled another cast to replace us. That cast lasted 8 months. In
- October 1993, the management imposed another rule on them--cast members
- are NOT ALLOWED TO SWEAR! So, that night, the entire cast walked out
- on him again! So, management is left with the task of assembling yet
- another cast, and we at the Jane Pickens now have an incredibly large
- group of people to choose from. In addition, the Meadowbrook print is
- deteriorating rapidly. I absolutely DO NOT recommend this theater at all.
-
- Jane Pickens Theater - Newport, RI
- Will run Fri. & Sat. as long as attendance is good; may be just Sat. in winter
- Cast: Absolute Pleasure Players
- Comments: This is the current home of the Absolute Pleasure Players, after
- we fled the Meadowbrook (see above). We do lipsynch preshows before
- the movie, and we have special "V.I.P." virgin seating. No rice
- allowed (you can throw popcorn instead), but all other audience props
- are fine. Our cast performs shows at local clubs on occasion.
- It's a very good, very professional show...highly recommended.

- 4329 University Way NE (Right across from the University Bookstore)
- Seattle, Washington
- (206) 632-3131
- Comments: Since November 26, 1993. Moved around the corner from the
- Neptune where it ran for over 15 years. Virgin games before the show.
- Live cast.
- Comments: There are still virgin games before the show (although they
- open the doors at 11:45, leaving us precious little time to get
- anything done before the show).
- The theater is open on Christmas and New Year's, so if they fall on a
- Saturday (as they did this year), we'll be there.
-
- Oriental - Milwaukee, WI
- Saturdays at Midnight, Admission $6
- Comments: Located on the corner of Farwell and North on the fashionable
- east side of Milwaukee. A Landmark theatre which seats about 500,
- 1000 with balcony (only open for huge crowds, such as Halloween [775
- people this year])--and and all important center isle to do the Time
- Warp in! Performing cast is "Sensual Daydreams", which performs every
- Saturday except holidays and a limited schedule in the summer. The
- cast is big on timing and performance. They also have some excellent
- large props (tank, control panel, weight set, etc). Weekly virgin
- contest (randomly selected on the Virgin Wheel). Props such and rice
- and toast are allowed. Masterbation is allowed in the back row. [ed:!!]
-
- Hoyts Centre - Sydney, Australia
- Fri, 11:30pm, AUS$11.50 Concession AUS$8
- Comments: Cast usually hang out in the bar at Hoyts, so come by and say
- hello! Hoyts is a 'family' cinema, so no fucking swearing, alright? We
- have been running in this incarnation for four years (Anniversary show
- is Fri May 28, 1993). The cinema is quite good, and we have a great
- print, *including* the SuperHeroes ending! Props are mostly cool, just
- no fried rice or anything squishy :( As always, we need fresh lines,
- so feel free to bring your along!
- Comments: Good cast, some innovative callbacks, and a good quality film
- (with Super Heroes at the end, incidently). Movie doesn't start until
- around 12:00, with the cast building the atmosphere with audience
- participation prior to the screening by sing-a-longs and virgin
- introductions etc. All props are permitted and encouraged (with the
- exception of naked flames). Sheets of newspaper handed out at the
- door, to bewilder the virgins who don't know what to expect.
-
- Valhalla - Melbourne, Australia
- This show only plays once a month, on Saturday night
- Comments: (they show Blues Bros every Fri night) Very traditional cast,
- I think they stick to the audience participation album!
-
- Cinema Mondo - Helsinki, Finland
- Sat, 11:00 - Used to be every Sat at 11:00, but it has been on a break for
- few months now, though they promised that it'll get back to
- programme.
- Was 40 FIM, what is about $8.00
- Comments: A small one, but shows used to be good. And as I said: RHPS
- hasn't been on the programme for some months, but it might come back
- next autumn or later on the summer.

- Museums Lichtspiele - Munich, Germany
- Every day, early evening, on weekends late night, ca. DM 10
- Location: Near the ``Deutsches Museum'' in Munich, Germany
- Comments: This theatre is extra-ordinary one. They play every day the
- RHPS (since 15 or so years) and the ``Blues Brothers'' (since 8 years).
- ``The Big Blue'' is shown at least weekly in the long, english version
- (with french subtitles). Other cult movies are shown reguarly as well.
- There is a special RHPS packet available at the cash bar, containing
- rice, a (loaded :-) water pistole and some other stuff you need
- for *really* enjoying the show.
-
- The Classic - Harold's Cross, Dublin, Ireland.
- Fri & Sat 11:00 pm
- Comments: As far as I know, it's the longest running RHPS in the world
- at over 11 years... and it's still going strong. [ed: not the longest]
-
- X-Ta - Tel-Aviv, Israel
- Comments: There's one theatre in the Tel-Aviv area that about once or
- twice a month screens RHPS, it is called X-Ta and is VERY small.. The
- next show there will be on the 26.2.94. From time to time there is at
- least a partial cast, depending on whoever arrives.
-
- Paramount Theatre - Wellington, New Zealand
- Either Fri or Sat at 11:15pm, $8.00 or $6.50
- Comments: Either Friday or Saturday nite at 11:15pm. Generally best
- to watch the papers to see if it's on. Admission is $8, or $6.50 if
- you have a Radio Active Sub Card. The theatre is pretty small, but any
- props are allowed except water. There's a fairly large hardcore
- cast, but the average age of them is pretty low (~17- 19). We're
- loud, and we're rowdy, but it's good fun and we love to come up with
- new AP. The film is somewhat cut, missing the entire reprise of 'I
- can Make you a Man' to halfway through the Narrator's speech, and it
- jumps in a few places. We've moved from 3 other theatres; we're
- running out of options, but we stillknow how to party.
-
- The Westend - Christchurch, New Zealand
- About once every 2 months Fri 11pm, $8 or $6 for students
- Comments: Check out the papers to see when it's on next. This is a cool
- theatre, about 75 years old. Any props are allowed including water. No
- cast but I'm trying to do something about that currently. I believe
- that the film is the same as the one used in the Paramount in
- Wellington which is why it's not on very often. So the quality is the
- same, i.e. not very good. New AP is always welcome.
-
- Hollywood Theatre - Avondale, Auckland, New Zealand
- Sat, 10:00pm, $8NZ (~$4US) If a group of 6 or more come dressed as

- Tel: ++64-9-8289285 for manager
- Comments: Yes you can bring your rice (I checked) or confetti and your
- toast, and your water pistols, and your newspapers. Naked flames not
- allowed (I suggest you bring a flash light)! Currently (25Feb94)
- showing every Saturday at 10:00. The first Saturday of each month is
- regarded as particularly dangerous for virgins. Seats 320 people
- downstairs, and 180 upstairs. (500 total) Has run RHPS every Saturday
- (almost) from 1979 to 1989 and has ran RHPS intermittently ever since.
- Also, the Holly Wood is one of the last remaining Theatre to still have
- an original German "Wurlitzer" Organ from the days when Pictures were
- silent. They operate an active "Wurlitzer" appreciation society of
- sorts. However I am not sure of the exact details, ring the Manager to
- check this out.
