Rose's Central Illinois
Rocky Horror Picture Show Page

 I am a "Regular Frankie Fan" of the Rocky Horror Picture show. I lost my Rocky Horror Virginity in 1992 in Naples, Italy. Frequented shows that I have attended are with the Peoria Players, Samurai Electricians in St Louis, annually at the Route 66 Drive-In in Springfield and at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville's Welcome week in August. My goal someday would to go to Madison, WI and see a Velvet Darkeness Show and to Milwauke to see Sensual Daydreams. Want to carpool?

If you are a Rocky Horror Virgin, well that's just too bad. If you just lost your virginity and want more, study the script or in some downloadable scripts. While you are at it, make sure you take the Rocky Horror Purity Test. Please visit Dark Refrain website.

If you need practice, go to the script

Two celebrities from The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) are going to be hosting a special event at the Hollywood Boulevard Cinema at Woodridge on October 1st. The two celebrity guests are Barry Bostwick  (Brad Majors) and Patricia Quinn (Magenta). According to the theater's site, atriptothemovies.com, the celebrities are generally scheduled to arrive one hour prior to the first scheduled showing of their film. There will be two show times: 10:00 p.m. and 11:55 p.m. If fans want to meet the celebrities before the show, they should arrive before 10:00 p.m. because these events are often heavily attended.

SIUE Welcome Week  in the Student Center

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Past Shows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Avon Theater in Decatur Oct 23,2010 $10.  The shadow cast's name is the "Titanic Seaman" which are mostly Milican U students.  They do a great job. But with most students, they like talk over each other and can't hear the audience participation or the virgin ritual over the talk.

I had my picture with the cast's counter-part Columbia along with a couple of virgins that sat with me in the same row.  They needed an education on the prop bags and I was more than willing to train them.  Too bad they had to leave early.  Curfew???  Then there's a pic of the Take Over scene.

Friday and Saturday nights, August 12-13 and 19-20 at midnight, shiver with anticipation

 

   

Note the improvement on this Columbia from the same cast taken at the Avon Theater in 2007                             

Here's a promo picture for the Hoogland Center for the Arts Rocky Horror Show.  This is for a newspaper article which is focusing on the fandom aspect surrounding the show.  I'll share the link when this media whore hits the paper.

The above photo was taken by myself with the auto timer feature and used in the State Journal Register with this story:

I got to the Canopy Club 10 minutes before 7PM because that was the time on my ticket.  We had to wait outside in 20 degree temperatures.  YIKES!  The show really started at 8PM and it was OVER BOOKED with people in the aisles.  The movie was shown at midnight making this a long night for me and my 1 1/2 hour drive especially with an ice fog.  Loved the virgin ritual with the marshmellows and twinkies.

Here I am at the Orpheum in Galesburg with Mr Plow and Rosie. It was extremely cold so I dressed as a Trannie.

These folks have talent. I drove a long way to get to Canton after work and had a good time. So much that a crew member invited me to return the following night for free. Und I did.

Here is an early photo of Take over Magenta in my 'back row'...err...back yard.
