You can almost feel it. Many folks
have shed their academic shackles while still
others are putting in their final two weeks
(or so), before being freed for an entire
summer!!! And we here, at Midnight
Insanity, will be right here to celebrate it
with you!! Our favorite way, of course, is
Lingerie Night, our most popular show of the
month, when we expect you all to show up in
your skimpiest lingerie. Some of you insist
on wearing lingerie *every* week, and ya know,
that's okay, but we only hold the contests
once a month. :-)
So, did you make it to Pimp and
Hooker night? If you didn't, you missed out
big!!! Oddly enough, we had an abundance of
pimps this time around, and not very many
hookers, not that Phillip and Michael didn't
make up for the lack of hookers ... just wait
till you see the pictures!!! Yes, it was a
most entertaining night, with Indy winning
the award for biggest feathers in his hat. If
you *did* miss it, worry not as I'm sure we'll
have another one, later this year.
Our "Special Show" this month is of a *slightly* different flavor than P&H night. We'll be having "Luau Night", to celebrate beginning of summer. So we'll expect you to hit the thrift stores and find really loud Hawaiian shirts, and see if you can't dig up some grass skirts and coconut-tops for the ladies. We're also making a one-night guarantee that you'll get lei'd at Rocky (yes, you'll be hearing *those* jokes, all through |
the night). Luau Night is only two weeks
away, on Saturday, June 13th.
It's that time again. Midnight
Insanity invites you to a most unusual
event. We'll be taking over Central Park on
Sunday, June 28th to spend a day in the
sun, enjoy some fresh air, run around like
animals, and make a general nuisance of
ourselves (last time, we apparently
interrupted a wedding ... oops!!) Central
Park is located next to the Huntington
Beach Public Library, on Talbert Ave.,
between Gothard and Goldenwest. Facing
the library, you'll want to park to the far
left, where all the trees are. Take the trail
that follows the row of trees, and runs
parallel to the parking lot. It's a fairly short
walk to the restrooms, and on the left will be
a stage area (of course!) with a lot
bleacher-style seats. That's where we'll be!!
Midnight Insanity wishes to welcome back a few friendly faces. Tracy has returned from his journey up North, and is starting to write our programs. Stephanie has returned to us for a whole 10 days, from Boston University, before heading back out to the East Coast, to live and work in New York. Diego also returned to us and performed Phantom for a week. Diego has been working for the theatre recently, so we haven't seen much of his antics ... hopefully, that will change!! Additionally, we had a guest performance from an ex-Riff Raff of ours, Mark B., who performed with us on Pimp and Hooker Night. Mark recently departed for Northern California but |
apparently wanted to visit his old friends.
Mark also won Best Riff-Raff at last
month's New York Rocky Horror Convention.
Last, but far from least, we'd like to officially
welcome Arthur to the stage as our new
Rocky Horror, and Bob, a long-time Rocky
Horror devotee, as a Transylvanian.
On Sunday May 18th, The Time Warp
placed at #3 on Dr. Demento's "Funny Five"
countdown, due to the numerous requests
he'd gotten for it. I gotta congratulate you
folks for a job well done!!! If you've been
following the saga, Dr. Demento has
returned to the airwaves here in Southern
California and we started a campaign to get
people to call in and request "The Time
Warp". Looks like we succeeded!! In case
you were wondering, KLSX 97.1FM has moved
Dr. Demento *again*, and his show now
broadcasts on Sunday evenings from 11pm
to 1am. Hopefully, this is the last move.
Anyway, with the success of getting The
Time Warp into the Funny Five, I think we
should forge ahead and start requesting
"Sweet Transvestite". Call the Good Doctor
at (562) ODD-TUNE (562-633-8863), and
make your request! I'll report to you again,
next month!!
Sad news folks, Tim Curry's new show, "Madness Reigns", in which he would have played "King Nicholas Serge Rudolph George Leopold Ludwig Von Ebelskiver of Lichtenbourg-Hvoristan", has *not* been picked up by the WB network, as originally hoped. You can help the Network Executives reconsider the show by writing to Susanne Daniels, Executive of Programming, WB Television, 4000 Warner Blvd. Building 34R, Burbank, CA 91522; and telling them you want to see "Madness Reigns". Good luck, Tim!! |
In case you're wondering what's going
on with RHPS stars *other* than Tim Curry,
we have reports that "The Rocky Horror
Show" (ie: the play) celebrated it's 25th
Anniversary this month in London. We're
told that Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn
were on hand for the festivities. Patricia
Quinn sang "Science Fiction/Double Feature"
which she also did for us at the Pantages
Theatre, on October 21st, 1995 for the 20th
Anniversary in Los Angeles. If you're
interested in attending a convention, may
we suggest the Las Vegas Convention in
October? Details are on our webpage,
http://www.midnightinsanity.org/.
As the nights get shorter, it's
getting harder and harder to stay out late
before the sun comes up. Still, you can find
us every week, after the show, at the
Shorehouse Café in Seal Beach. We invite
you to join us for an extra couple of hours,
ya know, just to round out the Saturday
Night. Remember that this *is* a business,
so you will be asked to order food if you wish
to stay. We'd also like to ask that you be
courteous of tired, hungry cast members,
as many of us don't find the time to eat
before the show. We love you all, but we
gotta eat, ya know?
Midnight Insanity would like to thank the Art Theatre Management Management and crew, for allowing us to perform *every fucking week*; the Shorehouse Café, for giving us a place to crash after the show; the folks who brought down the busload of kids last weekend ... that was *cool*; Bob, for all her work in line; and, of course, you, our loving and faithful audience, who come to see us, *every fucking week*!!! |
