This list is from the Rocky Horror fan club and from people that
|
|
E-Mailed me. Since I didn't go to all of these theaters, I cannot
|
|
guarantee their accuracy. Entries marked with `*' have more information
|
|
about them at the end of the list. Entries marked with `!' are
|
|
temporary. Some of these entries have been slightly edited (mostly for
|
|
conciseness) from the original message sent to me, but the content is
|
|
the same. Also note that this is the official list of the Rocky Horror Fan

Club. (Thanks to all the people that helped make it that!)

The Loft Cinema - Tucson, AZ
|
|
Sat, Midnight, $5.00
|
|
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: By the way, thanks to whomever had that constructive
|
|
criticism of the cast. It's true, and a lot nicer than it could have
|
|
been. The Loft has temporarily closed RHPS due to problems with
|
|
teenage drinking outside. The owner has tentatively agreed to re-open
|
|
the film in August, taking care of the security problems and some
|
|
advertising. Price, however, is tenatively to go up to $5.00.
|
|
|
|
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. 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... -Zenin (aka Byron)
|
|
|
|
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..
|

|
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!
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
|
|
Mayfair Theatre - Ottawa, CAN
|
|
Show RHPS two or three times a month
|
|
|
|
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.

|
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

|
be able to arrange something. our theatre seats 200, we have 25-75 on

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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. :>
|
|
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.

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!

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.

|
|
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!

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."

theater, primo sound system, HUGE screen...all in all, a great place

to see RHPS.

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.

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

by Rocky standards..(we'll probably be posting soon on the net about

our proposed de-virginization game, Full-Body Twister)...not that

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!!

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.

Hoyts' Cinema - Carousel Center, Syracuse, NY
|
|
Comments: Carousel is a large, semi-expensive mall and the cinemas are
|
|
appropriate to that setting. Amazingly enough, they will let you bring
|
|
pretty much everything, including water, toast, rice, etc... Rocky
|
|
fans in the area have been quoted as saying "We're not sure if the
|
|
management is naive or just plain nuts." One other note: the cinemas
|
|
are very centrally located in the mall, so if you go in costume, you
|
|
get to parade through past everyone. Ah well. 'Tis the price we must
|
|
pay. :)

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.

You are allowed all standard props except WATER. we also have a brand

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.

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

|
|
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.

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
|
|
near-perfect. Most of the fans are more involved in going to see the
|
|
stage show version at the moment though - it's been VERY sucessful,
|
|
and will be in the West End over summer. Jonathon Morris was born to
|
|
play Frank, and seeing Patricia back on stage as Magenta is amazing.
