Oh my God!  George is alive!  :-)  Sorry about dropping out of existance
for a good half year.  I had far too much work to do (that I *still*
wasn't paid for!) to even think of having free time.  Right now I'm
supposed be be doing something else, but I'm procrastinating a bit.

Send me mail!  Send me updates!!   I'm alive again!  :-)  :-)

These comments are not mine (mostly) but of some of the readers of
alt.cult-movies.rocky-horror


---------BEGINNING OF COMMENTS---------

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...

Belmont Cinema - Belmont, CA
 Admission: $6.00

Cal Poly Theater - ????, CA
 Finger ".rhps@punk.net" for more information
 Comments: Big Purple Onion Productions is the name of a club on the
  campus of the California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo,
  Ca. Our cast name is "Zen Room," and we perform once, sometimes
  twice per quarter, and ALWAYS on haloween, or the closest Saturday
  thereto.
    We perform in the Cal Poly Theatre, with a real stage-play format,
  professional lighting and crew, and the movie playing behind us. We
  do try to be more than just a "typical" movie theatre cast. Our
  theatre seats 500.
    Beginning with our next performance, we now have sponsorship by the
  local modern-rock show on the #1 radio station in our market, as
  well as numerous area businesses including "Fanny Wrappers," the
  local intimate apparel shop.

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!)"

Guild Theater - San Diego, CA
 Location: 3827 Fifth Avenue
           San Diego (in the Hillcrest area), CA
 Cost: $6.50
 Comments: The cast is Crazed Imaginations. The theater is small (as
  is the stage) but the cast and audience have lots of fun. No props
  allowed except Bic lighters (they go out when you pass out) New cast
  members are always welcome, just talk to anyone in cast after the
  show if you're interested.

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.

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: Rocky has played at the Rialto Theater for over 17 years
  and VOYEURISTIC INTENTION was established in 1980 making V.I. the
  longest running show in Southern California.
    V.I. performs 50 shows a year at the Rialto, occasionally taking time
  off to visit our sister cast Berkeley's INDECENT EXPOSURE.
  Combined V.I.'s Frank n Furter, Riff Raff and Magenta have been
  performing at the Rialto for over 38 years.
    We offer a profession looking show with a different twist. Because of
  the time invested in performing at the Rialto, the cast has chosen not
  to copy the movie exactly, although great attention is paid to
  recreating the RHPS costumes. V.I.'s show is very different then what
  you see on the screen. The show constantly changes as new "gags" or
  "bits" are written into the show. The show is changed often to avoid
  becoming stale to the cast and audience.
    V.I. strives to make the show more "personal". We attempt to create an
  atmosphere more like the original stage play. Our original Holiday
  pre-shows feature decidedly non-typical "RHPS" Costumes and
  choreography.
    Because of the way we present our show we were invited to perform at
  the 15th Anniversary Celebration at 20th Century Fox Studios by
  Berkeley's INDECENT EXPOSURE. At that show V.I.'s Magenta, Shelley
  Foss, was selected best Magenta by the original Rocky Horror Picture
  Show cast and our Frank n Furter, Ray Thompson was on M-TV.
    Come and find out why we are called "The Worlds Most Deranged Cast!"
 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)

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.

CineBistro - Quebec City, CAN
 Saturday, Midnight
 Location: 291 St-Vallier East
 
Mayfair Theatre - Ottawa, CAN
 Location: 1074 Bank St.
           Ottawa, Ontario, K1S 3XS Canada
 Shows RHPS 1 or 2 times a month
 Cost; $7 non-members, $5 members
 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.
 Comments: Even though we inhabit a beautiful 62 year old relic (built
  in 1932), the manager, Tom Bergin, is very cool about eirborne
  objects and lighters as long as you don't trash the place.
    The Rocky Horror Picture Show has been showing at the Mayfair
  Theatre for 3 years now, but our cast recently came together in
  January, 1994.
    "Orgasmic Rush" consists of a rowdy bunch who take good
  suggestions into consideration and are open-minded about
  constructive feedback and who perform numerous scenes from the movie
  with precision and enthusiasm.
    On average showings (usually Friday nights) our 492 seat theatre
  contains approximately 300 people insanely filled with
  antici... pation! Although we would be excited to see more of them in
  costume.
    Rockies here are fun even in repressed Ottawa but to ensure that
  Ottawa virgins do come back a second time, we do tame virgin
  sacrifices such as mark V's on their faces because we have angry
  virgins who threatend to harm those who initiated the sacrifice.
    Our film does have its skips and scratches, but he overall quality
  is pretty good.  And YES it includes Super Heroes along with Science
  Fiction Souble Feature Reprise!
    So give yourselves over to absolute pleasure and come(!) join in
  the Rocky Horror fun with us at the Mayfair!
 
Plaza Theatre - Vancouver, BC, CAN
 Cost: $7.50 cdn
 Location: 881 Granville Street (at Smithe)
           Vancouver, BC
           Phone: 685-7050  (I have no idea what area code)
 Cast: Sweet anticipation
 Comments: They've got some nice t-shirts for sale, too
 Comments: Rocky plays EVERY last saturday of the month at 10:00pm,
  with an additional show (if necessary) at 12am. The show includes
  door prizes, virgin sacrifices, special lighting and effects.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

Henenway Theater - University of Hawaii Manoa campus, HI
 Saturday at midnight, $4.00

Billy Joe's Pitcher Show - Des Moines, IA
 Friday and Saturdays.
 Cost: $4.50
 Comments: Usually cast is not in costume.  As a matter of fact, if
  there is a cast, it is usually just people playing the scenes they
  like and then goin back to their drinks.  No lighting.  Drinks and
  food are served during the show, contributing to sort of a cabaret
  atmosphere; lighters and just about anything else are permitted.
  Audience response somewhat dead. People know the movie; they just
  don't seem to care.
    Runs a good Halloween and New Year's Eve show, when there is a
  costume contest, almost always most of a cast, and some good RHPS
  door prizes on occasion.  Admission for special shows is $7 (advance
  tickets available); regular, $4.50.  Shows Friday and Saturday; call
  ahead, sometimes they show The Crow or some other midnight movie
  instead.
    Sorry if the above seems somewhat negative, but Billy Joe's just
  depresses me (I am one of three people who show up in costume
  semi-regularly).

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

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.
