Taking a break July 5 – we’re back July 12!

We love summer. We’ve had a fantastic time, with cast members visiting a hearse show in Lombard, and visiting alumni in a production of the Rocky Horror Show in Joliet! And we love performing for you. But we won’t be on July 5 – our theater isn’t showing Rocky Horror that weekend, so we’re taking a break for barbecue and fireworks. We’ll be back July 12 and who knows what shenanigans we’ll get up to?

We are Taking Applications!

As you know, we do Rocky Horror because we love it. Do you love it too? Would you like to join us?

We are looking for performers, or if you prefer not to run around in your underwear, Security, Props, Lighting and Crew.

See us at the Hollywood Blvd and pick up an application form!

(We are all volunteer, so nope, not getting paid. But we have a damn good time.)

We always cry at weddings.

Miss Us?

Whoa, that was weird. Hollywood Blvd, our theater, showed 50 Shades of Grey at midnight on Valentine’s Day instead of Rocky Horror.

We missed you – hope you missed us! Please be our belated Valentines – we’ll see you at Hollywood Blvd next Saturday, Feb. 21.

Love,
Completely Crazy

Climbing Stairs to Fight Lung Cancer

Thank you to our audience and other supporters for a very successful Fight for Air stair climb to fight lung cancer on Feb 8! Our 6 person team all finished, and with your help we raised $1350 for the American Lung Association.

We were featured in the Chicago Tribune on-line and our photos from the event were shared by Lady Patricia Stephens (Pat Quinn, who played Magenta!) on her Facebook page.

We’re now the #1 Google result for both “Rocky Horror” + Charity and for “Rocky Horror” + “Fight for Air” and we’re so proud.

Love to you all – cancer sucks!

We walked. We did Halloween. Now for the rest of the year!

Thanks very much to all our fans who donated and made the Hero for Hope event a huge success!

Our audience, friends and family raised over $5000 for the Family Shelter Service domestic violence shelter! The team won top fundraiser, with Audrey and Ruth netting top individual fundraiser honors, AND three cast members earned medals for their times (about an hour to walk 5K) – Desmond and Dylan won 2nd and 3rd, and Olivia won 2nd in their age divisions!

Thank you to everyone for opening your hearts and wallets. We went right from the 5K into the Halloween season, which was crazy and wonderful and we’re gonna LOVE next year, when Halloween’s on a Saturday! See you at the show…

Fighting domestic violence with the power of Rocky Horror!

It’s 2 days until the Heroes for Hope charity 5K, and with the help of the Rocky Horror community (and our families and friends – hi, Mom!) we have raised nearly $4500 to fight domestic violence. Rocky Horror plays in 32 states in the US – we have donations from 29 of them!

When we wake up Sunday morning to put on our makeup, pull on our fishnets and lace up our shoes, we believe we’ll have $4711 to hand to the fine folks at Family Shelter Service. Thanks to all of you for your help!

If you’d like to donate and you haven’t yet (calling our friends from New Mexico, South Carolina and Tennessee!), you can at http://fss.donorpages.com/HeroforHope2014/CompletelyCrazy/

Next week is October and we’ll be getting ready for Halloween.

Heroes for Hope (in fishnets!) Please help us beat the Girl Scouts!

We’re walking 5K in our Rocky Horror costumes for local domestic violence shelter Family Shelter Services on Sept. 28. We need your help – our goal is $4711! (Want to know why? Take a good look at Frank’s leg when you come see the show Saturday.)

Please bring a little extra cash to the show – we will be collecting for the charity. Every little bit helps, and we love you for it. The shelter is just down the street from our theater. They help thousands of people in our community, and even $5 will fund a child’s breakfast in the shelter. (And we really, really want to be the Girl Scouts team.)
