Rocky Horror Picture Show Festival
As part of the Buffalo Homecoming Weekend Celebration of June 26-29, 2008, the Arts Council in Buffalo and Erie County takes you on a nostalgic adventure to the outrageous and fantastic operatic world of the Rocky Horror Picture Show with three separate showings.
This homage to horror, science fiction and fantasy films will begin with a VIP Time Warp Dance Party to be held at the Arts Council Passage Way Gallery, 3rd floor Market Arcade Building, 617 Main St. at 9 pm on Friday, June 27, 2008. To bring back the glittering and delicious fun of it all, local members of the dance and theatre community will portray Rocky characters and be on hand to teach the ever timeless “Time Warp Dance”, with costume accessories available to all patrons at the Party. The party then moves to the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center at 639 Main St. where a viewing of the movie will follow at 11:30pm. A Rocky Horror Accessories Pack will also be provided that contains rice, toast, paper towel, newspaper, rubber glove, party whistle, playing card, and a glow stick, helping to make the audience participation a completely exuberant theatrical event. Ticket price for this event is $20, with proceeds benefiting the Technical Assistance Programs of the Arts Council.
A Pre-Film Discussion and showing will be held on Saturday, June 28 at 10 am at the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center at 639 Main St. Noted local film historians Bruce Jackson and Dianne Christian will present the history of the Rocky Horror Show and its development into cult status. Tickets for this event are $10 in advance and $12 on the day of the show.
On Saturday, June 28, at 10 pm the celebration continues with The Time Warp Dance Event. Before the movie begins, instructors dressed as Rocky Horror Picture Show Characters will lead the audience in learning the Time Warp Dance. Sensational costumes have been created by the international designer Bret Runyon, Music Director and costume designer for DC Theatrics. Movie goers will become the chorus of Transylvanians with Rocky, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, Brad, Janet, Magenta, and all the rest of the Rocky happy camper characters performing live character animation. The “Rocky Horror Accessories Packet” containing rice, toast, paper towel, newspaper, rubber glove, playing cards, party whistle and glow stick will again be available for purchase at the Arts Council as well as the Market Arcade Theatre. (Water, however, will not be allowed at any of these performances.) The cost of the packet is $1.25, while tickets for this performance are $10 in advance and $12 at performance time.
Tickets for all events may be purchased in person or by phone at the Arts Council offices at 700 Main St., (716)856-7520, or the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center, 639 Main St., (716) 855-3022.
