I love RHPS. If all the clowns would stop acting up, I would go see it.

I was telling my friends the other day when the message hit my inbox that I never thought I'd see the day when an organization tied to this city would promote RHPS.

Do you recall the countless times that BIG LARGE MCHUGE CHURCH has tried to shutdown RHPS in this city? If I recall, it was one of the chief reasons that Murray Hill theater became a Christian-a-go-go. And I'm not knockin' that.. it's coo'. Just.. you know.. mindblowing. The complaints when it was played at regency, the complaints when it was played at 5-points, the complaints when it was played.. well.. anywhere!

It's nice to see it back. I'm gonna try to get my tickets here in the next day or so. But I'm sure Brunson is peeing his bed at night thinking about this.

Not sure what you mean by clowns. I went last year and everything seemed fine to me. No problems with the crowd. It sold out last year so I made sure I got mine early this time just in case.

Urban Theatre Group Produces Rocky Horror

<BR /><BR /> Contrary to popular belief, Theatre in Jacksonville has always been a fairly interesting proposition, with a solid bedrock of fairly mediocre offerings being wildly supported by public funding and subscription that is nominally balanced out by one or another group of interesting and adventurous theatre people willing to produce independent and substantially superior work on shoestring budgets and nearly no audiences whatsoever.  In the late 70s through late 80s, the production of interesting theatre was primarily directed by one of the living legends of the Jacksonville theater scene, a terrible hobgoblin of such concentrated evil that his very name is enough to send shivers down the spines of whatever survivors of his tyrannical rule might be within earshot (not a common occurrence since his name seems to be the theatrical equivalent of Lord Voldemort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voldemort) ).  We are speaking of course, of Andrew Arnold (http://www.tuckborough.net/sauron.html), one of the most talented and daring theatre directors ever to draw a curtain in the state of Florida.  His theatre was in the heart of Five Points in the Five Points Theatre building, and it was called the River City Playhouse.<BR /><BR />Full Article<BR />http://www.metrojacksonville.com/content/view/487
