Good Evening and Welcome, once
again, to the Halls of Decadence at The
Rocky Horror Picture Show!!! Midnight
Insanity, your home cast, hopes you had a
joyous holiday and that you got many neat
presents. If any of such said presents are
of the lingerie variety (and we hope they
are!), we highly invite you to join us, once
again, on stage for our traditional Lingerie
Night!! Remember, Lingerie Night is the last
Saturday of *every* month. If you missed it
this month, start planning for January!
To those of you just recovering from
the Holiday Season, Midnight Insanity's
Xmas show was actually *last* Saturday ...
tonight is more of an end-of-the-year
celebration. Last week we had an
abundance of slightly-twisted Christmas
carols, chocolate covered cherries (thanks
Mark!), Santa hats, little green bows, and
the lovely T.C. decked out in a Festive
Santa-style Trixie outfit. It's quite a
refreshing change from your usual Mall-
Santa's ... so we hope you didn't miss it.
We also put bows on various anatomical
portions of Beavis and Butthead, but that's
another story entirely. We hope your Xmas
was as enjoyable ... if not, we'll find a way to
make up for it tonight.
The Holidays have a habit of bringing back to us a few old faces. Stephanie has returned to us from the "Land Down Under", |
spending time in Australia, going to classes
and infiltrating Aussie-MTV. This, of course,
is all a part of Midnight Insanity's World
Domination ... but you'll need to be here for
the Birthday Show to see more.
Stephanie's back just for a bit, before
heading back to school (in Boston?), but as
long as she's here, we'll enjoy her company
... especially the ladies (wink-wink, nudge-
nudge). Returning also is Jen (Janet), who
returns to us from Retail Hell (read:
Christmas Shoppers). Enjoy her while you
can, though, as Jen will be retiring in
January ... but she WILL be here for the
Birthday Show. Last, but not least, we have
Allison, who joins us this evening for her first
crack at Columbia on the Art Theatre stage.
Allison comes to us from the Topanga
Theatre in Woodland Hills (our Friday Night
venue) and although she has only played
Columbia a handful of times, puts on an
impressive performance.
Ah yes, the Birthday Show. You've heard about it for months on end, but it's not everyday that a cast turns 10 years old. Midnight Insanity has quite a reason to celebrate, since there are literally hundreds of casts who last a whole three weeks, and we've actually survived a theatre move (from the Balboa, here to the Art). Today, we even support TWO theatres, the Art and the Topanga Theatre. So, now we're down to the wire ... it's just a few short weeks until Midnight Insanity's 10th Birthday Celebration! This is a night of required attendance. Bring us presents in the form of your friends (especially Virgins) because we really want to pack the house. We have a |
Special Performance just for you, and lots
of old cast members stopping by (in case
you want to come visit some of your old
favorites). If you want to show up in style,
we suggest dressing up as the character of
your choice. Failing that, anything skimpy
will do (hope it gets warmer, though!)
Anyway, Midnight Insanity's 10th Birthday
Celebration takes place on Saturday,
January 17th, 1998. Don't miss it!!!
Ten years you say? Well, if you're
interested in a peek of what Midnight
Insanity may have been like in the olden
days, we DO have our Friday night show at
the Topanga Theatre, in Woodland Hills.
Here we have a crew of slightly-less-
seasoned performers who work with far less
glitzy props as we have here on the
Saturday night stage. This, of course, is
the roots to Rocky, the world of
improvisation, and provides a stage for
wilder imaginations.
In addition to the usual Friday night
trek up to Woodland Hills, Midnight Insanity
also infiltrated Redlands University this
past month. Unfortunately, I was sick and
couldn't make it, but I wanted to thank all
the MI cast members who DID put forth the
effort to drive all the way out to Redlands
to put on a mid-week performance. Ah, such
dedicated individuals.
Of course, that's really not new news ... but we're not talking Lingerie here. Midnight Insanity is looking for some high quality, slightly-twisted and fun-loving individuals to join us on stage. We're looking for a Rocky, a Criminologist, and several Transylvanians. Of course, it doesn't hurt to ask about other roles as well. If you've |
had your heart set on mounting our stage
... well, come see us, and we'll see what we
can do. Come see the cast after the show
for further details.
Okay, so he's been dissed by ABC
(Over the Top), but that won't keep Tim
Curry down!! Tim's latest project is a film
called "Doom Runners" in which he plays the
evil Dr. Kao. "Doom Runners" is a
collaboration between Showtime and
Nickelodeon, and is described by Tim as "kind
of a Mad Max for kids". "Doom Runners" will
be on Showtime on December 28th, and will
play on Nickelodeon in 1998.
We regret to inform you that a
beloved cast member has had a quite
un-jolly holiday season. Justin, who plays Frank
on Friday nights, and does Security on
Saturday nights, is recovering after a bout
with a drunk, and a knife. The best
information we have is that it involved a
rather ugly misunderstanding, and Justin is
lucky to have suffered relatively mild injuries.
He is presently recovering at his
Grandmother's house in Victorville, and his
attacker is in jail. He says he misses you
all, and hopes to return soon.
Midnight Insanity would like to thank the Art Theatre Management and crew, for allowing us to perform here *every fucking week*; the Management and crew of the Woodland Hills theatre (Topanga), same reason; Redlands University, for allowing us to perform; Allison, for filling in as Columbia with us tonight; Denny's and Shorehouse Café, for giving us a place to crash after the show (and throw pointed objects); and, of course, you, our loving and faithful audience, who come to see us, *every fucking week*!!! |
