Hey all,
Sorry for the insanely short notice on this one, but the JCCP and Simply His Servants will be performing SHOCK TREATMENT at The Hollywood Theater in Dormont, PA (like 3 minutes outside of Pittsburgh). The show's at midnight, no Rocky Horror to follow. That's on Saturday night.

With only two weeks to prep, this show's going to be a ton of fun, a real experiment in socialized medicine, if you will. If you're coming, let us know! It'd be nice to see some friends from the community.

Also if anyone has a Bert Schnick jacket just laying around that we could purchase/borrow, please let us know. We can't find one anywhere.

Hope to see you Friday,
~ Jordan

Would anyone like to perform or help out at Rocky at The Hollywood this Saturday, Sept 5?

The Other Woman is a revolving door cast, with no permanent members or roles, it's all first come, first served.  If you've ever wanted to give Rocky a shot, this is your chance!

Can you or someone you know accurately pull off the Little Nell look and voice?  CONTACT ME!

I'm planning a series of funny shorts to be filmed for the JCCP YouTube channel, each an "in-depth interview" with a different RHPS character.  The first I'd like to do, and which has already been written, is Columbia's.  The only problem is, finding an accurate-looking Columbia who can also do Nell's voice is proving to be quite difficult.

If you think you have what it takes to be a passable Columbia and are willing to devote a little bit of your time to filming this brief video, please contact me at knawdas@hotmail.com, or respond to this post.

Thank you! :-)

The Hollywood is a wonderful theater to perform in!

There were no props thrown at the show and members of both casts performed various scenes together, including Preshow and Trixie done by members of the 1990s JCCP!

There were lots of virgins, but also lots of seasoned audience members.  i think it was the best audience i've ever seen in Pittsburgh.
though almost no one who wasn't a cast member was in any costume.  that was disappointing.

They showed the US version, without Super Heroes, we'll try to fix that.

The concessions prices are very good, the popcorn is excellent.

What did YOU think??

The traditional home of Rocky in Pgh, The Hollywood Theater in Dormont, has decided to show it every 2 weeks, alternating casts between The JCCP and the new one, probably called The Other Woman, made up of a bunch of recent JCCP ex-pats, some JCCP veterans from the 90s [when they were internationally known as one of the best casts doing it], and whoever wants in.

we're thinking of running it pretty much like SOTMA in Morgantown, as a 'revolving door'.

Rocky debuts tonight at 11:30pm with no cast, at the request of management. next show will be Sat Aug 22, followed by Sat Sept 5. i think we want to defer the 22nd to the JCCP and aim for the 5th to give people the chance to get costumes and some props together.

BANNED PROPS:
Confetti
Any Food Item [Rice, Hot Dogs, Prunes, etc. If you can eat it, don't throw it!]
Water guns
Open Flames

The theater has been totally redone, it's brandy new and beautiful. Don't ruin it with food, water, or flames.

also, NO CONFETTI! you throw it, you clean it up.
...with your tongue!

if you can come out tonight in costume, sweet. we're allowed to jump up and do random scenes, just not a show.
if you want in, lemme know!!
if you know anyone who wants in, give me their contact info!!

See you there!

I'm sick in bed today and off work (my parents both have colds, and sure as shit, what they have always ends up with me last), so what better to do than review the show at the Rex?

Well, even though I started getting sick about halfway through the show (if anyone noticed how I went from constant callbacks to absolute silence and leaning on the table, that would be why), I still thought it was great. While the Rex doesn't quite have the comfortable homely atmosphere of the Oaks - particularly since the virgins here seemed almost totally unwilling to participate! - the cast worked through everything wonderfully.

Though I don't recall seeing Sammi before (I must have, because she recognized me), I thought she was a fantastic Trixie and a very believable Magenta. I thought she had a great chemistry with our beloved Chalupa, whose Columbia seems to get better month by month. Nice to see Jordan back as Frank also; as great as Manni-N-Furter has been the last couple months, she does make a great Janet as well.

I do feel bad for Sheffo though - had no idea he banged up his knee on that fall. Hope he recovers in time to scooter around on Friday, 'cause he's the best Eddie of the bunch!

As for the Dregs... uh, I dunno. Me and Tarsis went for a wander. :-)

But as for Rocky, despite the atypical conditions for the cast, I think the show went smoothly, and everything was done well - the Rex does sort of have that grungy small theater quality that Richard originally went for with RHS, so it seems to suit the film great. However, this will be my last trip to the Rex shows, unfortunately; my ride really doesn't like the traffic down there, and being that we witnessed a drunk drive into a pole mere feet away from us, he's probably in the right. After certain events that happened to others at the show as well, I do worry about the safety of the cast down there. Just be careful - that's all I ask of both the cast *and* the audience.

Well, I want to cut this short, but I will mention an idea I had for the JCCP YouTube channel; I thought it would be funny to do in-depth 'exclusive interviews' with the characters.. . if anyone can pull off both the voice and appearance of a Rocky character, let me know! (Before everyone says "I can do Columbia!", I may already have one, but I'll say so if that doesn't work out.)

Okay... back to bed for me.  Virtual hugs would be appreciated. :-P

Hello people, I heard about a showing at the Rex Theater in the Southside this Saturday. Out of curiosity, does anyone know who's running the show, and is the Rex only a 21+ crowd? I don't want to accidentally bring underage friends and have them turned away at the door.

Thanks!

Lest ye forget... Rocky Horror is at the Oaks TONIGHT!  Same old rundown as every month:

* May 29th (tonight) at Midnight - doors open at 11:30 PM
* The Oaks Theater in Oakmont, PA
* Starring the Junior Chamber of Commerce Players
* Tickets $5, prop bags $4, toilet paper $1
* No open flames, large squirt guns, rice, or hot dogs

See you tonight!

Thought I should mention this, since it's not advertised, like, anywhere (as far as I can tell)...

RHPS will be shown at the Rex Theater on E. Carson Street in the South Side, tonight at Midnight.  Opening act The Dregs will play at 10:30 PM.  Admission is FREE.

That's all the info I have; I dunno if there's a performing cast or anything, or why a movie needs an opening band, but hey...

I have a few things I wanted to bring up in this post...

1) This just popped into my head recently - is there any sort of fan-designated Rocky Day at Kennywood?  If not, that may be worth considering.  Obviously, it would probably have to be an out-of-character affair for the most part (having a RHPS screening in a pavilion may not be appreciated by all train passengers), but it might be interesting if put together well.  I mean hey, they already have Juggalo Day, and we're not as nuts as they are.  (Don't worry, in case someone was going to accuse me of player-hation, I too am down with the clown.)

2) I wanted the thoughts of both the cast and the general public on this...  In terms of attracting more attention to the jccppgh YouTube channel, which seems to be rather overlooked at the moment, perhaps the key is to make it more original and unique by adding material outside of the usual show footage.  Homemade, Rocky-themed comedy videos, for example.  I have a few funny ideas in that area that I wouldn't mind committing to video.  Anything could be up for inclusion really, even if you were a Pittsburgher who just wanted to spiel about why you think Rocky is awesome.  I dunno, I suppose that's up to the cast to decide on; my duties on jccppgh don't extend that far.

3) Just a little note about something that could be a ways into the future; I may be getting my hands on an alternate cut of "Rocky Horror" that sounds to be *very* interesting... but I'll refrain from giving away any more details until I'm more certain.

4) I can't stress this enough - if you're on a forum, newsgroup, whatever about RHPS showings, and the JCCP's shows are not mentioned, please be sure to post something about them.  I already started doing so on a heavily-visited shadowcast group on Facebook, and I'll try to keep up with others as well.  I'd love the cast to perform for a sold-out audience some time soon, especially after these past few tame Winter months, and I'm sure others would also love to see that.

Well, that's all I have...

See you 'round like a record...

Just thought everyone should know... the inhabitants of Transsexual Pennsylvania have begun their perversion of YouTube, with the JCCP channel!

Subscriptions are recommended, as more videos will be popping up there... Jason added a few, and I added a few, with more on the way.  Stay tuned.  And tell everyone!  Show your parents how weird your friends are! :-)

Hey guys,

Oops, my bad.
