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!

Starting off 2014 with a high kick, and a charity stair climb!

Completely Crazy

Happy 2014! Hope yours is successful and full of joy and a lot of fun. We’ll be putting on a hell of a show every Saturday; come join us!

As part of our 2014 activities, we’re participating in the Feb. 9 Fight for Air stair climb – scaling the Western Suburbs’ tallest building, the Oakbrook Terrace Tower (31 flights of stairs!) in our Rocky costumes. The firefighters in full gear beat our time last year, but we think we look better in stockings. (If you’re a firefighter and you can prove otherwise, please PLEASE send us the photos!) Proceeds benefit the American Lung Association.

The walkers - we had two finish in the top 400!
The climbers from 2013 – we had two finish in the top 400!

Seriously, it seems like half the crowd at Rocky smokes, and frankly, so does half the cast. We’ll need the American Lung Association someday, so please give generously at the show. You can also donate here:

Participants in the Oakbrook Terrace Fight For Air got an eyeful on Sunday, Feb 10 as the three Completely Crazy team members went up 31 flights of stairs in costume! (Yes, Rob’s just wearing a red T-shirt – that’s what Security wears) With help from our generous audience (have we told you we LOVE you lately?) the team raised more than $1100 for the American Lung Association!

Climbing 31 flights of stairs in fishnets for charity Feb 10! Please donate.

Completely Crazy

You know that weird skyscraper that sits all by itself over in Oakbrook Terrace?

We're gonna climb this.
Holy #$%^!, we’re gonna climb this?

You’d have to be completely crazy to climb the stairs in that thing.
So members of the cast will be doing exactly that on Feb 10 to raise money for the American Lung Association. In costume of course! We may even have one of our Security team with us, so we’re secure when we collapse on the Nth floor of the 31 flights of stairs.

or you can give us a donation at the show (we won’t be shy about asking). The American Lung Association in Greater Chicago is part of the ALA of the Upper Midwest, who get four stars from the folks at Charity Navigator, so you know they’re good.

Lung cancer blows. Help us fight for air!
