I was the original Frank N Furter and cast director of the Seduction Production, which was the Rocky Horror show at Cinema 35 starting in 1992. We few founding members followed that print of RHPS from a little theater next to the big Shoprite in Oakland, where we met on it’s first night there. We had a trunk full of costumes I’d borrowed from a former Columbia in the Full Body Cast (Boston), and I’d started doing the Rocky thing at 8th St Playhouse when I was 14 so had a good start. I have amazing memories of those times, I used to walk the admissions line in my costume and chat and flirt and fool around – and the shows were always nuts, we knew the film but we didn’t always stick to it, we blew it up all the time! I remember once we had the film just stop all of a sudden, all the house lights came up and we had a fake police “bust” that ended with a strip tease! The venue held 320 people, we sold out 300 tickets often, and kept the first couple of rows for cast use. “No sex in the fire exits, but we’ll see YOU in the parking lot after the show!” Cinema 35 was an awesome place for Rocky madness, they let get away with EVERYTHING, it was mayhem, a REAL Rocky scene, so sexy! The place was trashed by the end of every party – and it really was a party, way more than the stupid movie!!! I moved away from the area in ‘93 and turned over the cast to the cast members, have no idea really what happened after that or where anyone ended up. Anyone who was a part of this and remembers is welcome to contact me, esp if you have pictures or articles, I haven’t got any!!! Lotsa Love!!! …addam…
