The Scarborough Music Theatres (“SMT”) Rocky Show is opening soon and there are a few things we want you to know.
Whatever that means to you, just go for it. Shed your inhibitions and let loose, much like the characters on stage. Gowns, garters, leather and lace, just because you’re not on stage doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel the fantasy!
Just remember our theatre is located in a family friendly rec centre so no nudity please!
Don’t run away just yet. The Frankenstein Place, while excessive and wild, is a safe space and your level of participation is up to you. Just be aware that your friendly neighbours may be die-hard fans and know when it’s their turn to yell out and get involved in the show.
Feel free to join in at your own pace, just make sure you’re following the script, no one wants angry notes from the Stage Manager.
Here's a quick guide for newbies.
Whenever Brad is introduced in some way the line "Asshole!" is appropriate.
When Janet is introduced the line "Slut!" is appropriate.
Whenever the Narrator appears, the following lines and variants are appropriate:
Boring!
"He's got no neck!"
And most important when Frank says "Shivering with antici ...... pation." we all yell "Say it! Say It! in the space between "antici" and "pation"
There’s no crying in baseball and no throwing in Rocky. Nada, niche, nothing. No toast, no rice, no playing cards, no stray candies from your handbag and definitely no squirting of water. Our ushers all hold black-belts and will quickly remove you from your seat and make you stand at attention in the lobby for the rest of the show. Trust us, the view is far better from your seat.
Now we are not taking away all but fun, we are selling a Rocky Kit (or "prop kit", "prop bag", "shit to play with", etc.) that contains a large portion of the props you can use at the Rocky Horror show. Below you'll find all the detail about what's included in the kit and what restrictions we have on what you can use or bring below.
The kits are $5 each. We really don’t care who told you the price was anything different. We do not get paid for performing, and 100% of the proceeds from kit sales go back to costumes, props, promotions, and kit supplies.
Your first "Don't Look Like A Virgin" Pro-Tip:
DO NOT throw items at the stage - that's just way NOT cool. This is the holiest of holy rules and the one that will get you ejected from the theatre if you want to test it. We take our relationship with our partner theatre groups seriously, and will not tolerate any behaviour that could damage the property.
SO! What's in the bag??
A Card Explaining All This Stuff
We don’t expect you to remember all this or have the foresight to print this page, so we made these handy cards that come with the kits that explain everything!
Bubble Wand
So nice you’ll use it twice! What’s a wedding without bubbles? Celebrate the newlyweds by blowing to your heart’s content.
When to use (1): Listen for the wedding bells after “Science Fiction Double Feature”
When to use (2): Listen for wedding bells (again) after “I Can Make You A Man”
Newspaper/your program
When to use: Can’t have you getting wet (just yet), protect yourself from the rain! Put this over your head after Brad and Janet get out of the car after their tire blows
Listen for: “"Besides, Darling, the owner of that phone might be a beautiful woman and you might never come back again."
Glow Sticks (please NO lighters, matches, or flammables)
When to use: During the song “There's a Light (Over at the Frankenstein Place)”, while the ‘There's a Light’ chorus is playing. (Transylvania may not have a fire code, but Scarborough does).Don't Look Like A Virgin Pro-Tip: Only hold up and wave your light during the actual chorus, when they say "in the darkness", lower/conceal it. You may also use flashlights on your cell phone!
Latex Free Rubber Glove
When to use: During Frank's speech when he puts on the gloves, stretches and snaps yours.
Noisemaker
When to use: During the "Lab" scene, when the Transylvanian Guests use their noisemakers.
Toilet Paper
When to use: When Dr. Scott makes his entrance and Brad exclaims "Great Scott!". Remember: if you're in the front row, throw backwards. Everyone else, you can throw forward.
Mini Bell
When to use: [Planet Schmanet - Wise Up Janet Weiss ]
What to listen for Frank to sing: “Did ya hear a bell ring?”
Cards
When to use: After floor show, when Frank is doing his solo number and sits down and sings the line "cards for sorrow, cards for pain". Please feel free keep and wave this card, nobody wants to play “52 card pick up”
Items that you may remember from that time you went to Rocky Horror in 1982, but we DO NOT have in our kits and DO NOT ALLOW at our shows:
Rice - Rice is very difficult to clean up and makes the floor extremely slippery for the performers, and can attract rodents and such if not completely cleaned up.
Lighters or anything flammable - this one is pretty self explanatory.
Water Guns - Usually used during the song "There's a Light (Over at the Frankenstein Place)", while they are walking through the rain, you spray your water gun at everyone next to you and make some new enemies. We want our actors to be as safe as possible and unfortunately any water on the stage would make for a huge hazard!
Hot Dog and Prunes or any food item - No, NO, NO!
If you've got a question that's not already answered above reach out to president@smt-theatre.com for answers!
