It would be nice, wouldn't it? Well, it
would for me if I had the Summer off, but
such is not the case. Still, it's been a great
summer and it's ain't over till . . . well, till
after our picnic at least (see below). We bid
good-bye to those of you returning to
school and hope you enjoy one last Lingerie
Night before we return to the land of (ugh)
homework.
If you're lucky enough to have a few weeks of Summer left, well then listen up because we have a couple of special shows right around the corner. Next week is Labor Day Weekend, and we fully expect to see you in some sort of labor-worker costume. Be creative, and remember that this is Rocky Horror, so sex appeal is ALWAYS important! The following weekend (September 9th) is our "Sock Hop 50s Night". Just recently added by popular demand will be "Early 80s Night", which lands on September 23rd. Also, we're told Anne Rice will be doing a book signing for "Memnoch, the Devil" at the South Coast Plaza Mall in Costa Mesa on Saturday, September 9th. She'll be in front of Rizzoli's Bookstore. No time has been given yet, so keep an eye in the newspapers near the date and get there early to start a line!!! Thanks to Laura for the info. |
Tonight marks a particularly special
show for one of our hardest working cast
members. By the calendar it was a little
over three short months ago that he
graced our stage for the very first time, yet
now it seems like an eternity has passed.
We are, of course, speaking of Chris, our new
Frank. Tonight's show is his 10th
performance with Midnight Insanity (if you
count the "Phantom of the Paradise" intro,
you get 11, or an `Ace' in Blackjack, get it?)
For someone who has JUST made it into the
double-digits, Chris has made outstanding
progress in his role and he continues to
show steady improvement with each and
every show. We see a very bright future for
Chris as Dr. Frank-N-Furter and are proud
to add him to the crown jewels of Midnight
Insanity. Congrats, Chris!!!
It's here, ROCKYSTOCK weekend is upon us. Midnight Insanity invites YOU to come invade Mile Square Park with us, tomorrow, Sunday, at 3pm. Mile Square Park is located in Fountain Valley. Additional flyers are in the programs and additional information will be given during Pre-Show. This is a huge inter-cast Rocky event as we have also invited other casts |
and their audiences to join us!!! Come by
and visit with the folks who have kept Rocky
alive and helped us make it to the 20th
Anniversary (more info on that when we get
it!) See you there!!!
It happened again . . . a few members
of Midnight Insanity ducked out for a
weekend in the Bay Area, Northern
California, San Francisco / Berkeley. We
descended upon one of the most beautiful
cities in the world, saw the memorial tree
for Jerry Garcia, done up only as those on
Haight-Ashbury could; ate too much
chocolate (Ghirardelli Square, where else?);
hung out on Pier 39 (the Dock of the Bay, if
you will), swung by Castro Street (where
everyone is filled with . . . `gaiety'); and
visited one last time (at least for me), our
friends in the Berkeley Theatre cast,
Indecent Exposure. If you have ANY
opportunity to visit Northern California,
may we suggest you not miss this excellent
cast before they retire in October of this
year? See Bill (Brad) for more details.
Have you seen the really cool "Midnight Insanity" shirts everyone's been wearing? Do you want to be one of the "Cool" people? Part of the "In Crowd"? One of the "Socia"s (or whatever that word was they used in the 50s)? Okay, even if you didn't, do you want to get worried stares from your teacher (well, more than usual, we mean)? Midnight Insanity is producing |
another run of the latest Midnight Insanity
/ Rocky Horror T-Shirts. This will likely be
the last batch of this particular design so if
you want one, get your order in now! We
also have plans for a special 20th
Anniversary T-shirt, due out hopefully by
late-September. If you're leaving for school,
get in touch with the cast and we'll mail one
out to you!
Just a quick reminder that a VERY
hard-to-find Tim Curry movie will be on THIS
WEEK!!! The movie is called "Times Square",
set in New York (of course) and probably
came out around 1980. Tim isn't the main
focus of this movie, but he still has quite a
good-sized part. Set your VCRs for Channel
7, Wednesday, August 30th, at 12:05am
(this means late-late Tuesday/early-early
Wednesday!!!) . . . the movie is supposed to
run approximately 2 hours. Note that this
movie is only being run on local broadcast,
so feel free to taunt your out-of-state (or
out-of-L.A.-broadcast-area) friends. :-)
We would also like to thank the Art
Theatre management and staff for letting
us perform here *every* week -- AND, for
the fabulous `trailer' work; the folks down at
Seal Beach Denny's (like Cara and Mauro),
and Joe, our major-ultra-cool Denny's
waiter who comes to our show; and the
entire cast of demented individuals who
regularly show up here week after week for
no discernible reason (or at least, nothing
the cops could get out of us anyway . . .)
