Hello, all you unconventional conventionalists!

I wrote in about this time last year, noting that I had been cast as a
phantom in an Augusta (GA) Theatre Company production of the Rocky Horror
Show. Our director wanted the play to be nothing like the movie, though, so
I missed out on a lot of the fun and camaraderie around that seems to
accompany a shadow cast...

The Augusta Theatre Company has moved on to other things, vowing not to
revisit Rocky Horror for several years.... but how many of us can get Rocky
out of our blood after only a handful of shows?

But it is time to do the Time Warp again! Our Dr. Frank-N-Furter wasn't
content to let Rocky get buried with the ghosts of playbills past, and has
decided to form the only shadow cast in Augusta, GA! He's the only one
who's ever been in a shadow cast, although about half of us are veterans of
the play...

Oh, and I've been upgraded from a phantom to Eddie/Dr. Scott! Yay me!

Our venue isn't a movie theatre; it's a small "alternative" club called Club
Argos. The quarters are tight, but that should just make things more
interesting!

Oh, and if anyone near Augusta, GA is dying to be a Transylvanian, drop me a
note at star_klutz RemoveThis @hotmail.com!

WOOHOO!

Fred,

In a few weeks? You'll probably be a bit too early for us. Our first
performance will be the first Friday in September, then the first and last
fridays in October, then the first friday in December. If those catch on,
we'll continue with the first Friday of each month.

I've only been in town a few years... the name Parliament House sounds
vaguely familiar, though...

I'm probably going to be passing through Greenville sometime next
month, so I'll probably pop by your show and see how the experienced
casts are doing it! :)

Now wait a minute...I was cast as a phantom in a production of Rocky Horror SHow
a few years back and it was the most fun stage show I've ever done! It was
definitely fun in different ways than being in a shadow cast, but are you saying
you didn't enjoy yourself doing a show like Rocky HOrror Show?

That's exactly what I'm saying. I LOVED being a Phantom (although at my
size, I was sure the Time Warp was gonna kill me), but I'm sure it'll be a
different experience doing Rocky with a shadow cast as opposed to doing it
with a theatre company where Rocky was just one of many shows... It was a
great experience, though! If anyone caught our show, I was the big guy
hauling off Rocky at the end of the show with his face hiked up into my
crotch... (poor guy!)

Ah. I don't get over to that part of town much. It's amazing how little of
this area I've seen in three years...

We're going for screen perfection.

Our Frank was a bit disappointed that our theatre director wanted nothing to
do with the film look; he's thrilled to be getting back to the film. We did
do the Broadway version of the play, though, for the most part; there was
the lederhosen on the phantoms and the Sound of Music references, that was a
bit different. We had comments from people that saw the Broadway revival
that we did a better show! Our show was in a tiny theatre in a thrust
configuration, with audience on three sides... it was very intimate, perfect
for Rocky!

Our new show is in similarly confined quarters, again with audience on three
sides... and since it's in a club, that adds alcohol to the mix! We are
restricting the audience to using our goodie bags, though; our Frank has had
problems with people who think they're funny bringing squirtguns loaded with
bleach instead of water...

Thanks... we appreciate it! :) I'm looking forward to catching your show
once I have something indecent to wear! ;)
