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
:)
Comments: RHPS has reopened and will play only the 1st and 3rd week
every month, until further notice. Price remained at $4.50 rather
than the $5 we were expecting. They still didn't solve any of the
shit that went on, but it's gone away for now (teenage drinking,
grumpy management, lack of publicity)
Art Theatre - Long Beach, CA
2025 E. 4th Street at Cherry Ave.
(310) 438-5435
Sat. show $6.00
Comments: The cast here is VERY good. Their props & costumes are some
of the best anywere. A custon-built stage, trannies and a full prop,
technical, lighting and security crews. The show is very fun but if
you get sick of it their are always cool people in the forier to hang
out with. This is a very modifyed version of the old "Sat. Balboa"
cast. (only a handful of the Balboa people are still left...) You
can throw almost everything. Thay even let you use lighters! A word
of advice if you go... Don't join cast if you like your sanity... Good
show but... Thay also have a very nice "uncut", Super Heros print! All
in all this is truly a cast worth seeing...
Nuart - Los Angeles, CA
Comments: Took over about 8 years ago when the Tiffany closed its
long-time Los Angeles run. Cast of Sins of the Flesh has gone through
many changes over the years, but the big fixture is Dennis Miller (not
the TV Dennis, the Rocky Dennis) who stands out front of the theatre
and collects fan club memberships every weekend. Dennis is an
original, who used to (and occasionally still does) play Riff. (He is
noted in Creatures of the Night, Sal's book). The BEST virgin
sacrifices on the West Coast (sorry Berkeley :-) The ultimate virgin
sacrifice: two rows of virgins, guys in one aisle and girls in the
other, with their legs spread while a selected guy and girl virgin had
to crawl on their backs all the way up the aisle and then come back to
the front of the theatre on their stomachs, between the legs of the
other virgins (opposite sexes, of course :-) Nuart played
Rock-bye-Bear (by Fred Quimby) for a long long time until it broke.
Several other cartoons have been aired over the years, plus the
ultimate rock-video, The Wall, as trailers (why do they call them
trailers when they come at the BEGINNING of the show? :-)
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.
UC Berkeley - Berkeley, CA
Sat, Midnight, $6.00
Cast Name: Indecent Exposure
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..
Comments: Call Becky Milanio at (510) 236-5491 for more info.
(The Indecent Exposure Entertainment line)
Camera One - San Jose, CA
Sat, Midnight
Phone: 408-294-3800
Comments: Camera One's cast is Velvet Darkness, and no matter what the
Berkeley cast says, Sal Piro designated VD the "best cast in the
country" for 1993. VD started playing at Fremont's UA which is now a
foreign language theatre (no, they don't show a subtitled version of
RHPS :-) many years ago and switched to the Camera One in early 1993.
They recently celebrated their first anniversary at Camera One. There
is a weekly virgin sacrifice in which one virgin is forced to strip
and don a wedding dress and then is placed in the opening wedding
photograph scene with the cast. Excellent cast, costumes and props
(full lighting equipment, a castle, a casket, red and blue sheets, a
candelabra, etc., etc.) Audience props are only minimally supervised.
Best line heard first at Camera One: "..called the human race (that's
why your phone bill is so high!)"
Montclair GCC - Montclair, CA
Monta Vista exit off the 10 fwy.
Turn north, 1 blk, turn right in to the mall.
- Their are 2 theatres in the mall...
you want the one next to 31 flavors.
Fri./Sat. Show $5.00 or $3.50 if you have a "Fan Club" card!
Cast: The Rebel Cast Alliance
Comments: Friday night: This is a fun theatre! The cast is Ok. But the
aud. is great. (VERY friendly :) It's the way Rocky used to be...:)
Just a bunch of friends, having a good time. ...I like it. -Zenin
(aka Byron)
Comments: Although the movie is shown here on both Friday and Saturday
night, the Friday night casts have always done inexplicably better
than the Saturday night casts along the lines of performance, props,
costumes and audience patronage. The RCA currently has a complete --
yet small -- cast, with several of it's members pulling multiple
duties: 1. Performing (average); 2. Lighting (minimal, but adequate);
3. Props (few, but effective where used); 4. Phantom gags (several
that receive good audience responce). Some cast members have
experience; most were just pulled out of the audience at one time or
another and eventually joined the cast. No throwing in AP props/items
or using squir guns and lighters. Clean, uncut print that includes
"Superheroes." Crowds here rank among the best for audience
participation. A fun place to visit.
Canyon Theatre - San Dimas, CA
Fri. show $3.00? ...it keeps changing.
Comments: Not bad for a new cast. Good cast, good tech, nice people.
All in all a rather good show. :) ...but I still want to know what
that cat piss smell was in some of the side seats? ...just keep to the
center section and you'll be fine. :) -Zenin (aka Byron)
Belmont Cinema - Belmont, CA
Admission: $6.00
Bloor Cinema - Toronto, CAN
Comments: Admission is $7 (slightly lower for members), and they
apparently show RHPS every 2 weeks. The cast seemed to know each
other well (and got even more familiar with each other on stage during
the show). Projectiles and water are very much allowed. The cast was
fun to watch since they did fun stuff on stage (like dressing up Brad
as Elvis when I was there). Rocky was very scrawny.
Mayfair Theatre - Ottawa, CAN
Show RHPS two or three times a month
Comments: The cast is called Orgasmic Rush, and they run a pretty fun
show. Not big on props and stuff, but they do lines and the Time Warp
really well. Columbia and Frank are excellent. They also really harp
on the Criminologist's neck. Show costs $5 bucks for theatre membres,
and slightly higher for everyone else, but the theatre lets you see
two movies for one admission. No virgin sacrifices, though.
Uptown - Toronto, CAN
Price: $7-8 (Canadian)
Comments: I think the cast was just starting out, the props and
performances were both rather limited. Shows seem to be every other
saturday night, price I racall as being about 7-8$, audience seemed to
be mostly high school & university students.Nearly everyonr went as
conventionists. Rocky looked a bit ?very waifish & wore a cassock
instead if bandages, later a gold speedo. Narrator was rather
annoying, led the audience in monty python singalongs instead of doing
lines. No virgin sacrifice but their names were entered in a book.
Audience was requested to throw props onto stage rather than at screen
or cast, lighters and water were allowed (but my squirtgun
leaked).Superheroes was included. They showed a Woody Woodpecker
cartoon (R.I.P. Walter Lance) beforehand where at one point he dresses
up as a mermaid , and someone yelled "Do't fuck ck with the Hair".
2Policemen were in attendance but quite friendly & posed with us for
photos. It's a couple of blocks from the Victoria College campus you
can look it up if you're in T.O. P.S. I'm not sure if the Bloor is
still showing RHPS.
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. All other props
are allowed, and flashlights are encouraged during "There's a Light."
The show most recently played the weekend of April Fool's with great
success. RHPS should return for Halloween and April Fool's from now on.
York Square - New Haven, CT
Fri & Sat, 11:30, $5.50
Comments: Brand new print with Super Heroes.
Chestnut Hill Cinema Cafe - Newark, DE
Saturday night, 11:30pm, Admission $3.50
Comments: Under 21 is not permitted into the theater (while this does
kinda bite for those younger who wish to attend in this area, but for
those of us "of age", it is REALLY cool... because the Theater is also
a BAR! The owner had purchased this theater, ripped out every other
row of seats, and replaced them with tables... mixed drinks are not
served, but beer is readily available... $5 domestic pitchers & $6
imported. Cast Comments : The cast is pretty good (at least I think
so, since I play Brad Majors). We do a lot of our own personal joking
around, but if you can't have fun with it, then why are you doing it?!
We are still working on getting a "second cast" together, because
sometimes our entire cast does not show, just so we can be sure that
someone will be there every week for each role. However, the audience
seems to have a lot of fun each week.
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. :>
Comments: The cast at Northlake is cool. However, I would reccomed
that you live in the Atlanta area to join. I live in Athens, and the
commute got to me after a year.
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.
Hilltop Family Cinemas - Mableton, Ga.
Comments: cost is $3 we are located on Bankhead Hwy 6 Miles outside the
Atlanta perimeter on the west side of town (exit 8) the cast
"nonoxinal-9" has been performing together for one year but we have
people in attendance that have been doing this for as long as rocky
has been around!!!!!!! we are also the cast that did the performance
at the georgia theatre in athens last winter quarter and will be the
recurring cast at that location next time that we hear about it.... we
also help out at the bijou in knoxville tenn. we are a multi-state
cast that get together about 6 times a year and halloween is the big
get-together of the year...
Henenway Theater - University of Hawaii Manoa campus, HI
Saturday at midnight, $4.00
Billy Joe's Pitcher Show - Des Moines, IA
Friday and Saturdays.
Comments: Most weekends, but every now and then shows the Crow or
something else, so it pays to call. Usual admission is around $4.
Varsity Theatre - Ames, IA
Shown Halloween, the day before Halloween, and during our Spring
Celebration, called Veishea. That usually the third week in April.
Hollywood Bar & Filmworks - Indianapolis - IN
Midnight every Saturday, 237 South Meridian, 3rd Floor
Infoline: 321-9255
Comments: Indianapolis's Satanic Mechanix, quickly becoming one of the
biggest and best casts in the midwest, have moved along with Fox's
relocation of the movie from the Greenbriar Twin Cinema to this great
theater. Hollywood is one of the best theaters in the entire country:
state of the art sound, a custom made screen, and a trendy bar
atmosphere (it IS 21 and over only unfortunately). If that wasn't
enough: here's the big news folks: the print is fresh from the Delux
labs and it is the only one of its kind in the country. Furthermore,
the entire atmostphere is completed with orginal 50s trailers of
"Forbidden Planet" and one of the Triffid movies. Place this alongside
the kick ass show of the Satanic Mechanix, and you have Rocky Horror
history. Come and see it!
Muncie Creative Opportunites Center - Muncie, IN
Approximately every other Friday, bands at 7:30, show at Midnight
215 South Walnut Street. For info call 287-0946
Comments: This is a _very_ cast oriented show that is put on by
Indianapolis's Satanic Mechanix. The print of the movie is
non-theatrical (16mm) and it plays on a rather small screen in the
back as a very theatrical cast with full props plays on a full stage
made especially for and taking advantage of the shape of the venue.
The Muncie COC is a club and a artist co-op, and it has a very
destinct and fun club atmosphere. If you want to see a RHPS show where
the cast is _the_ show, check it out. The show is approximately
bi-weekly, call the COC or keep an eye out on the Ball State campus
for the next date.
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!
Laurel Lakes Center - Laurel, MD
Sat, Midnight, $6.75
Comments: While the show is new, the cast is experienced (many from the
now-closed Marley Station Mall cast), and very good. Management has
agreed to keep it around as long as an it pulls a decent audience. If
audience grows sufficiently, management will consider a lower price.
Water and TP are not permitted, but the rest is cool.
Towson Commons General Cinema - Towson, MD
Address: 435 York Road
Towson Maryland, 21204
Phone: (410) 825-5233
Directions: I95 to 695 towards Towson (not Essex) to Dulaney Valley Rd
exit south. Stay on Dulaney Valley Rd as it changes names to York Rd
(at Joppa) Theater is on the left at the corner of York Rd and
Pennsylvania Ave.
Comments: Our first night was April 8th. There were over 100 people
that night. On our second night we had over 200 people! The theater
manager is completly behind the cast. He let's the cast in for free,
even though the ticket price is $1 for students and $2.50 for all
others. He gives us time to do introductions, virgin hunts, and
general info before the show. The theater holds about 300 people and
has a changing area behind the screen. Our cast "Castle
Transylvanians" performs Friday and Saturday. Our official opening
show will be May 6. We are on a probationary period. That means that
after the four weeks, the theater has a right to close.We don't think
that will happen! The audiences are very enthused about Rocky comming
back to Maryland!

AMC Sterling Center 10 - Detroit, MI

Sterling Heights
Friday and Saturday, Midnight.
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.
Deville Cinema - Jackson, MS
Comments: I was told that they haven't shown the movie regularly since
the 15th anniversary. They only show it *very* occasionally, on
"special occasions" (whatever THAT means), so anyone wanting to see
the show there would be wise to call first and see if it's a "special
occasion."
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: I used to be part of the Cinema 35 cast in Paramus NJ and I
must say that they are by far one of the most professional casts I've
ever seen. On occasion they don't put on a great performance but that
is only because they are trying too hard and are forgetting the fun
and spontinaety Rocky is supposed to bring. Many of their cast
members have won prizes at conventions and a few even stared in
conventions. The lines are always up to date and the film is perfect
(no Super Heroes but that will change soon). The only rules that the
theatre has is that you basically don't go over the edge and break
laws in the theatre. There are no lighters allowed and no super
soakers allowed either. An d the first five rows or so are for cast
only. Except on Halloween when it is packed. Average crowds range
from 100-200. $5.00 a ticket, Fridays and Saturdays.
Harwan - Mt. Ephraim, NJ
Saturday, midnight, $5.00
Comments: One of the oldest casts in the country (15 years old), and
the only cast in South Jersey and surrounding Philadelphia area. The
Transducer Players are pictured 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.) Shows EVERY saturday night at midnight,
admition is still only $5.00. The theater itself is a single screen,
600 seat vaudville theater complete with stage. An average show is
150-250 people. Virgin of the week every week. Theme nights and
prizes all the time. Origonal pre-shows. Professional cast. Highest
recomendations. Phone: 609-931-8869

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 :) ]
? - Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ
Fridays.
Comments: My name is Jeff Mach and I'm the director of the cast
commonly known as Midnight Decadence, the Decadent Midnights, or The
Decadent MidKnights In Their Scarlet Tights (a play on our school's
colors and sports teams). We run the show at Rutgers University.
We're fighting the administration, but we've managed to have some
regular shows..Friday nights, so far, although we'll be doing some
Saturdays to let Orthodox Jewish people come (no, really! Honest! My
Janet here (her name's Nancy Martin, just thought I'd mention it
because I'm babbling anyway) thinks the Orthodox Jewish thing is a
joke, but it's not...[end digression] Anyway, we have a perfect 16mm
film with Superheroes and a particularly..um...innovative show, even
by Rocky standards..(we'll probably be posting soon on the net about
our proposed de-virginization game, Full-Body Twister)...not that
that's necessarily a good thing ;) ....um...well, if you have any
questions, or even if you don't, just e-mail me... Jeff Mach

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 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.
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.
Comments: This theater has been playing the RHPS on & off since it it
came out! Collectively about 15 yrs. It's even in the RHPS Book!
Cinema East had been a legend for a while, but now it is hopping once
again! Early October '92, it had an audiance of 5 and no cast. On
Halloween '92, there was a cast and an attendence of 316!! That cast
(The "Inside Insanity" Cast) is still there over a year and a half
later and is working like hell to regain Cinema East the rep. it once
had! But it's hard, because people just don't seem as interested
anymore.
But if you are interested, It's a great place to see it! The
theater is a 750 seat auditorium with with a stage and a GREAT
atmosphere!! The cast is very friendly & enthusiastic and it's
members are ages 14-25! They have a pre-show crowd booster and
'Virgin Sacrifices' before the show as well as a Pink Panther
'Inspector' cartoon which is also acted out on stage! Their costumes
are great, including a Rocky costume that falls apart like the one in
the movie! They also have a lot of props (i.e.-coffin, elevator, tank,
juke box, weight set, etc.) and a whole Crim. set!!
They encourage field trips, as for there have been a few to the
theater already. Once three bus loads of people showed up for a show.
Admision is $6.50 and when the cast can afford it, they
make up 'Virgin Kits' full of props & goodies! They have a
weekly newsletter called "The Insanity Insider" and are
working on putting out a Fanzine!
They enjoy theme nights and special shows every once in a while to
keep it fun and interesting for the audiance as well as themselves!
Their achievments are an audiance of 406 on Halloween '93, & 350 on
a 'normal' night once! They have performed at Ramapo College (and
look forward to performing there again) and also at Movie City in
Edison, NJ. They look forward to possible shows at Drew University,
St. Thomas Aquintas, and a possible production of "The Rocky Horror
Show!" They can occasionally be found in local Nyack and Nanuet
newspapers, and were once in "The Asbury Park Press!"
If you want to see the show, the Theater's # is +1-914-358-
6631 for rec. or +1-914-358-6632 for directions.
Any donations to the cast are very much apprieciated. Even scrap
matieral or ideas and comments/criticizims are welcome! They are used
to keep up our costumes and props and do fun things for the audiance!!
DON'T LET NYACK DIE OUT AGAIN!!! SEE THE RHPS EVERY SAT. @
MIDNITE!!"Stay Sane 'INSIDE INSANITY'"!!!!!! :*
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.
Westcott Cinema - Syracuse, NY
Midnight.
Comment: The show was good and bad. First, the good. There is a cast
but there was not enough people. So the cast asked for volunteers from
the audience to do the parts. I almost went up but I decided that I
wanted to watch how good they would be. The cast was OK but they had
no set lines between all of them. The theater allowed us to bring
anything we wanted except flames and glass. Why someone would bring
glass is beyond me. Now the bad. The movie was HEINOUSLY edited. They
chopped off a good 20 minutes from the film. One minute we are
watching Rift let Janet and Brad in and the next minute we are in the
middle of the Time Warp. This happened about 5 times.
Comment: The theater is in the "Wescott Nation" on the East side of
the city in close proximity to the SU campus.

Comments: There is a good show here. People that saw it in other

managment. This is where the editor of this list goes.
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
allowed for audience props! and no fucking rice at the cast!!!
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.
State Theater - State College, PA
Comments: I just saw the May Rocky listings and thought you might want
to know about Vanilla Challice. We are State College's RHPS cast.
The State theater (usually where we perform) currently doesn't have
Rocky but if CinemaWorld (the owners of the State) believes in
consistancy Rocky will be back to Central Pennsylvania in mid-October.
The price of admission is roughly $6 and the theater is located on
College Ave. (Rt. 26) in State College, PA.
The cast is a motley crue of old actors and new virgins out for a
good time. Warn the prudes though. One of our most popular Janets is
male and we have two women who play Rocky him/her/itself. New people
are welcome and travelling members of other casts frequently guest
star. The show is (as always) at midnight Fridays and Saturdays. We
expect it to start in mid-Octoberand last until (cross the fingers)
late January.
That's really it but in case you're wondering about our name. A
Vanilla Challice is two shots of Fruit Punch, Pink Lemonade, Pepsi,
Diet Pepsi, Mugs rootbeer, and Mountain Dew. Mix well. The
concoction tastes like vanilla and comes from the cast hanging out at
Taco Ball after the show. Guess which drinksthe place has.
Meadowbrook - Warwick, RI
Comments: (This show has suffered greatly due to a pissing contest
between the former cast and the current cast, when it should have been
between the former cast and the management. Since the last review was
written by a disgruntled former cast member, I will give you a more
fair picture.)
The film is a mono print with Science Fiction reprise (no Superhero's)
and has some skips (one of them cuts out most of 'I'm going home').
The audience has to sign a waver to enter (it just releases the
theater from people claiming whiplash when hit with rice or toilet
paper) but you are free to throw props and dance in the isles.
Although the cast suffers from what seems to be lackluster support
from management, they perform with much enthusiasm, despite the fact
that they are sometimes undermanned. And the ongoing cast war between
them and the former cast, who feel any cast currently here should
suffer due to their poor relationship with the theater management, has
not detered them from putting on the best show they can.
Powell Cinemas - Knoxville, TN
Friday, Midnight, $3.00
Comments:
Most of the cast members are really good, though sometimes one member
wil not show up and hapless friends of the cast get pressed into
service, sometimes with hilarious results. Audience members can bring
props with the only two rules being that you're not allowed to throw
liquids, or those industrial-size rolls ot toilet paper. This seemed
to be a common sense thing, but some dolt brought them and someone got
nailed, so it's now an "official" rule.
--
Oh yeah, this cast will also be doing the show at the Bijou in
Downtown Knox-Vegas the first two weekends in August, admission is
still unknown at this time though last year it was a suggested
donation of $3, but if you were broke, or just plain cheap, you could
get in free. :) From what I heard, the rules at the Bijou are a bit
stricter, and you can only throw popcorn. I'll update you on the
admission and other things if you want me to.. David Gridley

Address:

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.
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.
Studio Galande - Paris France
42, rue Galande
75005 PARIS
Metro St Michel (Near Notre-Dame)
42 Francs
Friday 22H30 & 0H30
Saturday 22H30 & 0H30
Fan-Club: The Zen Room (Newsletter, Penpal list)
Comments: 2 casts, The Absent Friends & The Zen Room.
Both can be seen mostly on Friday night.
Comments: I did perform with one of the Paris casts at the Studio
Galande. They had a Frank in full costume, a Riff and Magenta in full
costume (with space suits), and a Brad and a Janet who were more or
less in costume. Eddie just wore a leather jacket. No one but Frank
really acted out the Floor Show, and they didn't do the dinner scene
or the rain scene. There was very little space to move around, and
people brought 1 liter bottles of water in for the rain scene, so
trying to Time Warp was really dangerous--the floor was slick and
covered with rice. I had an eighth of an inch of rice on the soles of
my boots one night...The cast got in free about once a month and did a
big show. I never did get to see the Saturday midnight cast; my dorm
had a lock-out policy at 2 am. One thing to note if you ever go to
Paris: it's a lovely location, across the river from Notre Dame. But
women, *do not* wear your high heels out of the theater! The
cobblestones will kill your ankles, and the area is a very busy
nightlife area. French women do not wear very high heels unless they
are prostitutes, so bring sneakers for after the show.

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]
Comments: I've just read the list, and I'd just like to give you some
info on the Harolds X cinema. There are about 30 regulars who dress up
for the show, some of whom have been attending for 11 years. The rest
of the cinema is filled with virgins and occasional attenders. The
cinema is quite large (in Irish Terms) and there has never been a case
when the film hasn't gone out on the Saturday or Friday or both. The
during film shouts and chants are totally different from those on the
soundtrack, but this ain't a crime.
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.
Cinema Mexico - Milan, Italy
Fri 8:00pm & 10:00pm
Comments: water is not allowed.
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.

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.

Prince Charles Cinema - London, UK
Fridays
Comments: off Leicester Square, and they are still performing there,
every Friday. Their Space Riff & Magenta are a couple called
Stephanie and David who run the British RHPS Fan Club. Their address
is:
Time Warp Fan Club
1 Elm Grove
Hildenborough
Tonbridge
Kent TN11 9HE, ENGLAND
If you write to them and enclose an international reply coupon, they
can send details of how to join, and they have loads of info on casts
around the UK. (And there are some!)
Comments: There seems to be some confusion about whether Rocky still
plays at the Prince Charles cinema in London - well, it definately
does. Every Friday at midnight, usually to a packed (but rather
virginal) audience. Stephanie & David are still in charge, although
many of the cast members have left over the last year - they were
advertising for new members last time I heard from them. I'm not
involved personally, as I can't get there regularly, but quite a few
of the cast are friends of mine. The virgin sacrifice is a bit tame,
but it's funny, and they're fairly lenient about props - no naked
flames, and no pissing off the balcony is all they ask. They really
are excellent - great costumes, good timing with the film etc, and if
there were a few more regulars, (preferably in costume) it would be

play Frank, and seeing Patricia back on stage as Magenta is amazing.
