If you’re used to the monthly “Rocky Horror Picture Show” screenings at Admiral Theater – or past experiences – a few things you need to know about “The Rocky Horror Show Live,” opening July 13th at ArtsWest in The Junction. Do NOT bring toast, or rice, or any of the other routinely thrown items. Why? Explained here. However, the ArtsWest notes say, verbal audience participation IS welcome. So you don’t have to be as sweet and innocent as Brad and Janet…

… but do keep in mind, this is a production of the Summer Musical Theater Apprenticeship Program at ArtsWest, and not recommended for those under 16. Our reminder of the upcoming “Rocky Horror” run landed in the inbox Sunday night courtesy of cast member Tyler Webster, who has praise for everyone in what Tyler calls “an amazing cast” and adds, ” All of us are dedicated to this performance and have been balancing school, work, and multiple other commitments.” So show ’em some love – showtimes are 7:30 pm Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays from July 13th through July 23rd, with added 11 pm shows on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets are available online right now – go here. (Theatergoers under 25 pay only $10!)

This group of young actors did “The Time Warp” at the ArtsWest Gala a couple of weeks ago – and had the entire audience on their feet! Fantastically fun!

Amazing bunch of young actors/actresses with an amazing director and supported by an amazing organization — ARTS WEST. Don’t miss it.

I have 20 friends coming during the first week … and can hardly wait to see what the amazing 16-20 year olds can do! I understand that the boys are doing great in their high healed shoes… see you there. I hope all the seats are full every night so they feel the love coming from our Seattle communities to them and ArtsWest.

Gonna have to take your word for it … Tyler did not correct me in the note I received back with thanks for the post – have changed the language to be gender-neutral (which we had already done, using “actors” instead of actors/actresses, as our style is to use gender-neutral job/role descriptions as often as we can, letter carrier vs. postman and so on) … TR

I went for my first time to a Rocky Horror show. Wow. Wow. Wow. Tyler Webster a supporting cast member, was clearly a bright light whose passion shows thru above all the rest, heads and shoulders above the rest!

Sorry, comment time is over.
