We’d like to thank our audience, family, friends, and the Rocky community for your support of the PurplePalooza charity 5K for Family Shelter Service! We blew past our goal of $4711 and raised $5200 to help survivors of domestic violence.
The walk was Sept. 29 and we are ready for October, baby! Come check out the show, try our new Rocky Horror-related drinks, and let’s PARTY!
We love Halloween. I mean really LOOOVE Halloween.
So do lots of other people, including people for whom Rocky Horror is a once a year treat. So please remember to buy your tickets for our October shows in advance, or at least show up early (any time after 10:30 PM) to buy your ticket (and show off your awesome outfit in the lobby – you are wearing an awesome outfit, right?).
Every year some of our regulars forget and then can’t get tickets to our Halloween show – don’t let this happen to you!
We love our Rocky Horror friends and family – for the third year in a row, you’ve helped us raise $4711 to fight domestic violence! We are on target to raise $5,000 this year, which means in the last 4 years your total donations to domestic violence shelter Family Shelter Service are $19,000.
Rocky Horror people are awesome! THANK YOU!!
Or at least we hear they will on Saturday, Oct 12, at Hollywood Blvd!
Come see us – we’ve heard your brains are delicious!
In other news, THIS:
Google “Rocky Horror” + Charity.
Look at the top two results – we’ve been in the #1 or #2 spot for 2 weeks now! $3600 plus raised so far, with 3 weeks to go! Please help us reach $4711 by donating at the show or here: http://fss.donorpages.com/HeroforHope2013/CompletelyCrazy/ . We’ll post lots of pictures of us walking 5K in our Rocky costumes for YOU, our fabulous audience, and for local women’s shelter Family Shelter Service!
So far, Completely Crazy is the top fundraising team in the “Heroes for Hope” costumed 5K walk against domestic violence – AND the top four fundraisers are all from our team too! (Check out Frank N Furter’s page at http://fss.donorpages.com/HeroforHope2013/FrankNFurter/ – this is where we record all the cash donations that go to the cast as a whole.) Take that, Girl Scouts!
We’ve done this because of you, our Rocky Horror audience, and because of support from our Rocky Horror family – local casts from Milwaukee, Indiana, Chicago, DeKalb and Michigan, and fans from California to Rhode Island, even the UK and Australia, have come together to show that Rocky Horror people are amazing, raising more than $2600 so far with five weeks to go! We are $700 from breaking our record of $3310 raised last year, and more than halfway to our goal of $4711. Makes you proud to slut around in your fishnets, doesn’t it?
We @#$%^&*! love Halloween. A selection of photos. Thanks for joining us, and remember, we do this every Saturday at the Hollywood Blvd in Woodridge and at the Arcada in St. Charles the last Friday of the month!
We’ve gotten our Halloween weekend kicked off – great to see everybody at the Arcada last night!
Now it’s time for the big Kahuna – the show at Hollywood Blvd!
In order to make selling out slightly less likely, we are taking over two of the Hollywood’s theaters and fronting TWO FULL CASTS. Out in the lobby, Tinseltown Photography will be taking souvenir photographs, and inside the theater we’ll be holding costume contests! It’s gonna be big, and we can hardly wait!
Here’s the casting. You won’t find out until the show starts which cast is performing in your theater – we like to keep things interesting.

October, we love you! We nearly sold out tonight (200+ people!), and on October 27 at Hollywood Blvd, as part of our big Halloween blowout we will have TWO theaters with casts performing the film simultaneously! Warm up for that with Rocky at the Arcada in St. Charles Friday, Oct. 26…then come back for more on Oct. 31, where Rocky Horror will cap the Arcada’s big Halloween party (the Genitorturers will be there!).
Oct. 21, next Sunday, we will be raising awareness of Rocky Horror and raising money for Family Shelter Service by walking 5K in costume after putting on another kickass October show for you – thank you to our amazing, wonderful, we-love-you audience for contributing $140+ at the show. We’re gonna try to break $2000 raised- please help by donating on-line at our fundraising page if you can. $2, $5, whatever you can. Thanks!
Have we told you lately that we love you?
When our audience at Hollywood Blvd. raised $91 last week for Family Shelter Service, including $50 from one very generous (if slightly embarrassed) gentleman, we were impressed.
So we asked you to beat that total this week. And did you. You guys donated more than $123 to the cause on Saturday. And we know most of you are poor-ass broke, so we are doubly grateful.
We will sweat our asses off for you as we strut through Downers Grove in our fishnets on Oct. 21 at the Run For Her Life 5K fundraiser. By then we expect to have raised $1000 to support Family Shelter Service’s work in our area – thanks to you. We love you!
Completely Crazy will brave the unknown realm of early Sunday morning for a 5K walk in costume in downtown Downers Grove on October 21 to raise money for Family Shelter Services. (They’re encouraging people to dress as superheroes, and in October you know who our superheroes are.)
Come cheer us on – or make a donation so you don’t have to get up early too.
Event starts at the Downers Grove North High School in Downers Grove, IL at 8:30 am on Oct. 21 (we had no idea morning came so early).
