Shameless Plug: RHPS on Friday the 13th

[SzczerbiakManiac]

If you have wanted to come see The Rocky Horror Picture Show but felt it was too late and/or too expensive, have I got news for you! This week on Friday The 13th, Midnight Insanity (http://www.midnightinsanity.com/) is putting on a special performance of RHPS at 11:00pm (instead of the normal Midnight) for only two dollars! This is a perfect night to come if you're on a budget and/or can't stay up too late.

And if that wasn't enough, the very next night, Saturday November 14th, we're putting on our annual tradition known as The Homo Horror Picture Show*. For this show, all the main characters will be portrayed by guys. It winds up being about 30% sexy and 70% funny. Homo Horror will begin at Midnight. Admission is $9.

MI performs at the Warner Grand theater in San Pedro. Click here for directions (http://www.midnightinsanity.com/AboutMI/Directions.htm).

I'd love it if any/all of our Swankers could make it to at least one of our shows. :)


*December 19th is The Dykey Horror Picture Show which features an all female cast. My straight brethren tell me it's extremely sexy. :evil:

Who are you playing?

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I am the Phantom.

I REALLY wish I had a teleporter machine at my disposal (or Jeannie or Samantha as a relative...)

Have fun, all you Transsexual Transylvanians!! :snap:


PS: can someone get a Vid or pix of the Homo Horrow Picture Show for me? Ta.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Break a pantyhosed leg!

[CoasterMatt]

That is our monthiversary!! We'll be there!!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Minor change. It's still just two bucks and still on Friday the 13th, but the starting time has been pushed back. Doors will open at 11:30 and the show'll start at Midnight.

I don't know why the change.

[lashbear]

Cast didn't want to get out of bed early? ;)

[Morrigoon]

So that's where Midnight Insanity has moved to. Cool.

[CoasterMatt]

We'll STILL be there :)

Why am I more inclined to check out the Homo Horror Picture Show?

[SzczerbiakManiac]

See the yellow & black banner below.

I'm working Friday but the Homo show on Saturday might be fun. Definitely keep me updated on the Dykey show!

Of the Friday the 13th and the next day Homo show, which would you recommend I'd enjoy more?

[SzczerbiakManiac]

It depends on what you want to see.

Friday the 13th will be a pretty standard performance. Strong choreography, screen accuracy... a "straight" version of RHPS with a sprinkling of triskadekaphobic references.

For Homo Horror, all bets are off. You're going to be seeing guys play roles they don't normally play. Costumes will probably be ill-fitting, choreography may not be up to our normal standard, but it's all played for laughs. We have a couple hot guys, but I wouldn't recommend coming to Homo Horror expecting guy candy.

I dunno, does that help?

[innerSpaceman]

It helps a bit. I've seen PLENTY (too many, in fact) regular Rocky shows with brilliant costumes, perfect choreography, screen-matching impeccability.

What I haven't seen enough of are theme shows. Back in The Day (and I'm talking late 70's), we tried our hand at a number of theme shows and they were so much fun. None of the casts I've worked with in L.A. ever attempted that* ... and perhaps that was because they were still working on getting their brilliant costumes, perfect choreography and screen-matching impeccability up to the snuff the New York casts achieved years earlier. (Though I will say that a certain L.A cast was years ahead of New York in the set-reproduction department).


So I'm thinking a fun theme show might be more my cup of tea.





* caveat - I stopped doing Rocky in the mid-80's, so I'm not saying L.A. casts never attempted theme shows.

[SzczerbiakManiac]

See you Saturday :)

[lashbear]

This could be the first time ever that Ghoulish Delight, NirvanaMan, Borneio, Capn' Jack, Chris, Kevy, Flippyshark, Alex, Strangler Lewis, Mousepod, Melonballer, CoasterMatt & Tref have all gone out to the theatre together dressed as women.... http://users.tpg.com.au/adslgroh/avatars/Frankenfurtersmile.BMP

(Apologies to any in the group that I may have forgotten)

It'd be awesome. :)

Thanks for the flyer on the Dec 19th show.

[CoasterMatt]

It wouldn't be the first time I've gone to the theater dressed as a woman (In high school, I went dressed as Columbia on a dare)

[alphabassettgrrl]

Excellent. :)
