46 Cinema East - Nyack, NY (Rocky Horror Theater)
Comments: I enjoyed this theater. went there twice. they have a pink
panther short at the beginning, and (when i was there) a good cast.
mostly the same lines as 8th street playhouse.
Comments: This theater has been playing the RHPS on & off since it it
came out! Collectively about 15 yrs. It's even in the RHPS Book!
Cinema East had been a legend for a while, but now it is hopping once
again! Early October '92, it had an audiance of 5 and no cast. On
Halloween '92, there was a cast and an attendence of 316!! That cast
(The "Inside Insanity" Cast) is still there over a year and a half
later and is working like hell to regain Cinema East the rep. it once
had! But it's hard, because people just don't seem as interested
anymore.
But if you are interested, It's a great place to see it! The
theater is a 750 seat auditorium with with a stage and a GREAT
atmosphere!! The cast is very friendly & enthusiastic and it's
members are ages 14-25! They have a pre-show crowd booster and
'Virgin Sacrifices' before the show as well as a Pink Panther
'Inspector' cartoon which is also acted out on stage! Their costumes
are great, including a Rocky costume that falls apart like the one in
the movie! They also have a lot of props (i.e.-coffin, elevator, tank,
juke box, weight set, etc.) and a whole Crim. set!!
They encourage field trips, as for there have been a few to the
theater already. Once three bus loads of people showed up for a show.
Admision is $6.50 and when the cast can afford it, they
make up 'Virgin Kits' full of props & goodies! They have a
weekly newsletter called "The Insanity Insider" and are
working on putting out a Fanzine!
They enjoy theme nights and special shows every once in a while to
keep it fun and interesting for the audiance as well as themselves!
Their achievments are an audiance of 406 on Halloween '93, & 350 on
a 'normal' night once! They have performed at Ramapo College (and
look forward to performing there again) and also at Movie City in
Edison, NJ. They look forward to possible shows at Drew University,
St. Thomas Aquintas, and a possible production of "The Rocky Horror
Show!" They can occasionally be found in local Nyack and Nanuet
newspapers, and were once in "The Asbury Park Press!"
If you want to see the show, the Theater's # is +1-914-358-
6631 for rec. or +1-914-358-6632 for directions.
Any donations to the cast are very much apprieciated. Even scrap
matieral or ideas and comments/criticizims are welcome! They are used
to keep up our costumes and props and do fun things for the audiance!!
DON'T LET NYACK DIE OUT AGAIN!!! SEE THE RHPS EVERY SAT. @
