A small bit or local RHPS history, from your Hip Uncle Z.
My Friends!
And you are all... My Friends.
Children, when the last Region RHPS cast, The Pink Invaders disbanded and lost their: home, theater, cast leader and confidence to rebuild anew... you could say that they saw it coming. Low turnouts, unfriendly law enforcement (unlike Hobart's awesome police force), local economic problems and the dreaded NIPSCO all helped to make closing down Crossroads Cinema the best idea for their cast leader and theater owner, Shawn Stutler. But he refused to go down like a punk bitch. He stayed and did everything humanly possible to keep that show running. He was in debt by 1/4 million by the end of things, all to give NW Indiana the joy of seeing this movie live with a floorshow cast.
Many of us here at Help Me Mommy were in, or attended that casts performances. It's a great sense of pride that we carry with us as we perform for you today. We feel that your attendance and your energy about the show is what has allowed us to become even better performers than we were before and helps us continue to improve our performance for you.
We know you like us, we know you enjoy the budding epicenter of alternative counter-culture we are trying to create with (and for) you. And without question, we know you love this movie, this show... and dare I say, this movement towards a better, brighter and more accepting tomorrow. We all thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
And so we bring you a gift.
Tomorrow marks 1 year of this cast performing together and 1 year of Horror in Hobart! We'll be having a dance party before the show to celebrate the occasion. AND There's a costume contest as well. Come dressed in your favorite ROCKY HORROR COSTUME for a contest with cash prizes! But here... I'm horrible at announcements (that's why I simply don't do them!). So here. Read this flyer below my friends... and come join the family. Without you and your attendance at our shows, the colors in our collective lives mix together blandly, the sun shines a little less brighter and the crappy bar bands, lame keggers and truly wasted scum of society... grows stronger.
Keep supporting our shows like you have been, so that we may keep entertaining you, every Saturday Night!
