\"downloads_lips02.jpg\"Buzz is already on the streets for TAG’s (Theater Arts Guild of Skagit Valley) upcoming run of The Rocky Horror Show for November 2007. Yes, I will be music director. Yes, it will totally rock. Yes, the show is entirely politically incorrect. There are shows that are fun, but when you mention this show people’s eyes light up.<\/p>\n

Check back in this section when audition dates are posted and more info as it is available. Auditions will be around Summer 2007 for this run.<\/p>\n

When I was conducting AIDA for TAG, the producer asked me if I could direct music for any show, what would it be? My immediate answer was THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW! Then she says to me, “Oh, someone already told you we were planning to do it?”. No, they hadn’t. And then the table started buzzing with conversation about it, the big question is: Who will play Dr. Frank ‘N’ Furter? It’s a daring production, and it brings up a lot of discussion about censorship, political correctness and our attitudes about certain taboos. RHPS stirs up conversations and debates; and that’s always a good thing in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\"downloads_pics_15.jpg\"So here’s a lot of starting info for those interested in auditioning or performing in The Rocky Horror Show. On this page you’ll find the original Rocky Horror Picture Show movie trailer, movie video clips, forum avatar graphics, samples of RHPS from different performing theatre groups, and internet banners for promoting RHPS.<\/p>\n

We went as a group and saw the New Everett Theatre Production in October 2007 at the Historic Everett Theatre. Cast list from that run is at the bottom of this post.

The light is coming from the old Frankenstein place, where Dr. Frank N Furter is in the midst of one of his maniacal experiments…Follow Brad and Janet on a trip they (and you) will never forget! Get ready for some fun, frolic, and frivolity. Rocky Horror is an ageless classic bursting at the seams with such memorable melodies as Sweet Transvestite, Dammit Janet, and, of course, the pelvic thrusting Time Warp. The Rocky Horror Show can’t stop partying. This is the boldest bash of them all, so fish out your fishnets, and sharpen your stilettos for the rockiest ride of your life.<\/font><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
\n<\/strong>

\"downloads_pics_13.jpg\"Well, if you’ve never heard of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, or seen it on a shelf at a video store, or seen it listed on cable TV around Halloween, then you most likely have been living in a cave for the last thirty years. No, seriously.<\/p>\n

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the single biggest cult movie of all time. A total flop when it premiered in 1975, the movie was instantly shelved. Then on April Fool’s Day, 1976, some smart-ass at the Waverly Theatre in New York<\/strong> decided it would make a great midnight movie. One fascinated fan turned into a few dozen, and then a few hundred. From there, it snowballed. There is a really groovy, step-by-step history of The Rocky Horror Picture Show as it grew into the cult phenomenon it’s now famous for, available on the <\/strong>. I couldn’t possibly compile a better history than that one. Really. You should check it out.<\/p>\n

\"downloads_pics_02.jpg\"The film stars: Tim Curry, Richard O’Brien. Patricia Quinn, Laura ‘Little Nell’ Campble, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Meatloaf, Peter Hinwood.<\/p>\n

Today, when you go to see The Rocky Horror Picture Show, you should be prepared not just for a movie, but for an interactive entertainment experience. As the movie plays on the screen, a full cast (that’s us) acts out the movie with costumes and props on the stage below. The whole while, the audience participates by yelling “call-back lines,” singing, dressing up as their favorite characters, and using props of their own.<\/p>\n

I suppose you may still be wondering what this movie is all about anyway. After all, it’s got to be pretty great to last thirty years in constant showings around the globe, right? Well, we think so, but let me explain . . .<\/p>\n

\"downloads_lips06.jpg\"The Rocky Horror Picture Show is your typical American musical (ironic, since it was written by an Australian living in Britain) about two young, ordinary healthy kids on a night out. Brad Majors and his new fianc\u00c3\u00a9e, Janet Wise, leave their hometown of Denton, to visit a Dr. Everett Scott, ex-tutor, and friend to both of them. But Brad and Janet don’t get very far – a tire blow-out leaves them stranded in an unfamiliar place and they’re forced to go out in a rain storm to look for help.<\/p>\n

You with me so far? Good. Now here’s where it starts getting weird . . .<\/p>\n

Brad and Janet stumble onto this foreboding castle in the middle of the woods. Not the slightest bit put off, good ol’ Brad rings the doorbell. A Nosferatu-like figure of a butler answers the door and ushers them inside where they are greeted by an over-eager domestic and a whole slew of creepy characters. So everybody dances the Time Warp as Brad and Janet are brought in, and they start to get the idea that this might not be such a wholesome place to be. But, just as they’re about to sneak out, in comes the Sweet Transvestite, “Frank ‘n’ Furter.”<\/p>\n

I won’t give all of it away for you, but I will tell you that what ensues is music, sex, half-dead bikers, cannibalism, a lot of underwear, water sports, aliens and a spiffy floorshow. Aren’t you intrigued?<\/p>\n

\"downloads_lips02.jpg\"The Rocky Horror Picture Show is not<\/strong> the kind of movie to rent and watch at home – you’ll never get the full scope of what it has become. Rocky Horror is meant to be seen in a theatre, with the energy and life that an audience and cast can bring to it. So what are you doing this Saturday night? Come out to the theatre and check it out for yourself!<\/p>\n
