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:

Thanks!

ZOMBIES INVADE WOODRIDGE!

Or at least we hear they will on Saturday, Oct 12, at Hollywood Blvd!

Come see us – we’ve heard your brains are delicious!

Completely Crazy

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?

Completely Crazy raises more than $1100 for the American Lung Association!

The climbers – we had two finish in the top 400!

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!

SAM 2221p - Upcoming Events: a Crapload of Shows! 5K Fundraising walk update!

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!

Casting for 10/6 Hollywood Blvd. Also, we’re the top fundraising team for Run For Her Life!

Completely Crazy

Countdown to Halloween is starting!

But first, we have to tell you how awesome you are. We went to a meeting for the Run For Her Life fundraiser against domestic violence last night.

To our surprise, we’re the #1 fundraising team so far. Yes, the Rocky Horror team, not the schoolgirls, or the Girl Scouts, or the veterans or the cops or the firefighters, but the freaks in fishnets! We’ve raised $750 with the generosity of our audience and the audiences and casts in the Chicagoland Rocky community. Thank you, THANK YOU for your generosity!

If you can afford to chip in a few bucks, there’s still time: please donate here or slip us a donation at the show.

Are we going to put a show on for you on Saturday! Featuring:
Trixie . . . . Ruth – all this and free candy and condoms too!
Brad & Janet . . . . Wally & Audrey – aren’t they sweet?
Riff-Raff & Magenta . . . . Ben & Mary – aren’t they evil?
Columbia & Eddie . . . . Allyssa-Bitch & Ron – Everyone loves Ron. And it’s Allyssa’s first show in costume as Columbia – come cheer her on!
Frank ‘n’ Furter & Rocky . . . . Jessie & Randy – a match made in heaven?
Dr. (Von) Scott . . . . Jianni – Dey didn’t proof NUTTINK!
